Sign-In Station / Kiosk
In Accudemia, users can sign in and out of their sessions using Sign-in Stations. They can be installed physically on a computer or can be configured in Accudemia. A link would be provided to the users so they can use the Sign-in Station on their own device.
By clicking the menu Quick > Sign-In Station, or the menu Administration > Campus Setup > Sign-in Station / Kiosk the web page then displays a Sign-In Station pop-up window.
The pop-up window is used to quickly set a computer as being a “temporary” Sign-in Station for a Classroom or Center. You can configure the way it works with Students during the sign-in process by going to Administration > Control Panel > Walk-ins.
Fixed Sign-In Station
- Purpose: Use this option to set up a Fixed Walk-In Sign-In Station if you want to track a specific session that has either a pre-selected Tutor, Subject Area, Instructor, and/or Service (any combination of any of them).
This process locks the Sign-In Station to the selected options set by an Admin or Tutor (with Admin Sign-In Station privileges) so the student can simply swipe-in to a special session. This can be done from a standard Sign-In Station computer or a specially designated computer. Just be sure to set it back to an ordinary kiosk when done.
How to Access: Administration > Campus Setup > Sign-In Station / Kiosk > Computers > Settings (Gear icon)
How to set a Fixed Walk-In Sign-In Station:
- Navigate to the Sign-In Stations > Computers section from the top navigation menu.
- Select the Center in the selection box on the left.
- Click the Settings (Gear icon) button.
- Select values for some/all of the 4 options:
- Subject Area/Courses
- Instructor
- Tutor
- Service
Note: If you are not selecting something generally required for the student to sign-in, it will prompt them to choose those options. It is typically best to have either all chosen items that generally would be selected for walk-ins.
- Finally, click the Setup Kiosk & Logout button at the bottom of this screen.
