The
most important thing to learn about using Manage IT!
is that it must interact with Incredible Tutor™.
Manage IT! and Incredible Tutor™ communicate
via the SLEEKNET folder. In order for any student
to appear in the Login screen of Incredible Tutor™,
you must give that student an Assignment (as we did in
Exercise 4) and you must distribute the Assignment. Distributing
the Assignment sends the information to the SLEEKNET folder
where Incredible Tutor™ can see it. Then, whenever
a student logs out or quits Incredible Tutor™,
the information about their session is sent back to the SLEEKNET folder.
Manage IT! must then collect that information to
be used in reports.
Manage IT! automatically asks to "distribute" any time you
quit the program and there are students with Assignments. It also asks
to "collect" any time you start up Manage IT! and there is
new information in the SLEEKNET folder. It is recommended that
you always perform this step to make sure that your data is indeed
being sent and received between the two programs.
You can also collect and distribute at any time using the buttons at
the top of the Manage IT! screen.
