Melissi Quarterly Newsletter
WELCOME

...to the Melissi newsletter for April 2011

Hello,
Summer has just about arrived in the northern hemisphere, and we're glad to report a bit of sun here in Yorkshire, England.

We're also please to report the arrival of a new FREE Melissi Digital Classroom upgrade. Version 4.2.1, including powerful new features, which are explained below. If you are an existing Melissi user and would like to take advantage of this FREE upgrade, please contact us via the webform link on our website here:
http:// www.melissi.co.uk/contact.htm

Added to this free upgrade is the first of our series of optional features, which enhance the Melissi system. Details of our new software are included below.

If you are new to Melissi, you can find an overview of our software here:
http://www.melissi.co.uk/products
Melissi was the first fully-digital language lab, in fact we celebrate our 12th birthday next week! We continue to bring innovations to the field.

FREE v4.2.1. UPGRADE
These features and more are available in the latest version of the Melissi Digital Classroom...
Full Wireless Support
Melissi is now fully compatible with your wired and wireless networks, enabling you to set up remote classes with students in other parts of the campus. If it's on the network - PC, laptop, netbook - its in the Melissi Classroom.

Open Sessions
You can now open your classroom to non-registered 'guest' users. Just publish your session (add a password if you wish) and away you go. For more details, go to our website at http://www.melissi.co.uk
Updated user interface
The media controller has been radically re-designed to make it simpler and more intuitive.

Lovers of the classic blue bars at the bottom of the student screen (and we love them too) can switch back to the previous interface if they wish.

New Technical Server
We have secured the services of a new, larger, more robust server for our technical operations: downloads, manuals, updates, etc. The new server can be found at: http://www.melissiapps.co.uk
For added security, we have changed the password access. Current Melissi users who wish to download the new free upgrade, please contact us via the webform link here: http:// www.melissi.co.uk/contact.htm
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
These features can be added to your Melissi Digital Classroom to enhance the teaching and learning experience. If you have an optional Technical Support Licence, all other optional features are available at a 50% discount!
Roaming
The standard Melissi Digital Classroom licence enables you to install the Student Programme onto 40 machines for each Staff Programme that you're licensed for. Our 'roaming' site licence allows the flexibility to add the Student Programme to any and every machine on your site (formally part of our 'Campus & Home' licence). Classroom sessions are still limited to 40 simultaneous students, but with roaming - coupled with our wireless capability and Open Sessions - your students can be anywhere on the network: in the library, outside, in the refectory, or even in your classroom!
Melissi Interpreting suite emulator
Want to teach interpreting, but can't afford a dedicated, hard-wired interpreting suite? This very powerful emulator will turn your Melissi lab into an interpreting suite. The system allows for a speaker to be interpreted on many channels into many target languages, and also makes it possible to perform relay interpreting. Sessions may be recorded. In seminar mode, up to six contributors are supported as source. Contact us for more details.
Remember: this feature is HALF PRICE for users who have a Technical Support Licence...
MELISSI TECHNICAL SUPPORT LICENCE
Technical and User support for your Melissi systems is free for the first 12 months. After this, we offer an optional support contract for a site-wide licence. The current price for the Technical Support Licence is £350.00 pa.

AND FINALLY...
If you have a Melissi feature in mind that will help you and others in teaching and learning, please get in touch.
Wishlist
We believe that we are the most user-responsive company in the field. Most Melissi features are there because teachers and technicians wanted them. So just ask!
It won’t cost you a penny - but if we implement it, all we ask is that you test it.
