As a further support for busy classrooms, both programs from v3.07 support Active
Directory logging in: Register a child to either program using their network login
ID: When they use the program having first logged onto the computer, they will be
allowed directly into the program without having to sign on for a second time.
If you have Wordshark and Numbershark releases 3.07 or later, and have registered
students into the program using their normal network login names, you can very quickly
activate “Active Directory Logging On”. This then saves students time at the start
of each Wordshark or Numbershark session.
1. Open Wordshark or Numbershark. Go to File / Version. Check it is release 3.07
or later.
2. Sign on as a Wordshark/Numbershark Administrator. Go to the Admin menu and tick
the box “Automatic sign-on using user name”.
3. Note that this will work for student users. Program administrators will still
have to sign on and type their passwords.
4. Also in the Admin menu there is an option to tick “No Temporary Students”. This
will prevent students from using the program unless they are logged in and registered.
Be aware that with this feature activated, if a student leaves a computer without
logging off, then a different student could open Wordshark or Numbershark and use
the programs as if they were that student.
With this feature activated, it is still possible to go to the “Other Students” menu
and sign on other students even though they are not logged onto that computer.
