Local vs. Internet Records

What's the difference between Local and Internet Records installations?

Local and Internet Records Installations are done through an Installation CD.
They can be installed Stand-Alone or Networked and Discless or CD-Based

Local Records

• Installation requires an Installation DVD or CD and an Installation Code.
• Students study on the local machine or on a client on the LAN (depending on installation type).
• Teachers can see student records from the local machine or on a client on the LAN (depending on installation type).
• If students study at home, they can e-mail their study records to the teacher. The teacher can import the e-mailed study records via the Records Manager (not the Records Server).

 

Advantages

 

• Internet connection is not required (except for product registration).
• Study records and license management are stored locally either on the Server or local hard-drive.
• Local Records is best for sites where students always study at the same place, such as in a lab at a school.

Disadvantages

 

• Study Records can only be accessed at the site and not remotely over the Internet.
• E-mailing study records is a hassle.

Internet Records

• Installation does not require an Installation Code.
• Student Study Records and Licenses are stored on DynEd’s Records Server.
• An Internet connection is required.
• The DynEd Placement Test can be run "streaming".
• Students can study off-line for X number of days.
• Study records are stored locally in the “..\dyned\data_i” directory (on the local machine or on the server depending on the installation type) When student re-connects, “,,\dyned\data_i” study records get synced to DynEd's central Records Server.

Advantages

 

• Students can study from anywhere.
• Teachers can see student records from anywhere at any time.
