Design an Active Learning Space
After the Pods are connected to their team table displays and deployed on the network, Active Learning Designers can virtually design and enable a new active learning space using the intuitive drag-and-drop interface in the Solstice Active Learning app.
Note
To create and design learning spaces within the Solstice Active Learning app, a Solstice Cloud administrator must first invite users to Solstice Cloud and assign them the Active Learning Designer user role.
How To
The Solstice Active Learning app can be installed on a laptop or tablet device. Windows and macOS laptops with a minimum resolution of 1024x768 and Android or iOS tablets with 10" screens or larger are supported. Active Learning Designers and Facilitators must download the app to use the Solstice Active Learning capabilities.
Users with laptop computers can visit mersive.com/download-active-learning/ to download the Solstice Active Learning app.
Users with tablet devices can download the Solstice Active Learning app from their respective app store.
Open and sign in to the Solstice Active Learning app using your Solstice Cloud login credentials.
Click the Add icon in the top-right corner of the app.
In the Enter Room Name field, enter in the name of the Active Learning space. Choose a name that Facilitators can easily identify as the correct room or space. You may also enter an optional Room # and Building Name to help identify the space.
Select the room shape that best represents your space from the list that is provided.
Click Save. The Design panel opens, where you can drag-and-drop to place various elements in the space to make a virtual representation of the active learning space.
Drag a Primary Display to represent where the learning facilitator's main display is located. This step is required to connect and route to and from this display.
In the Pod Address field, enter the IP address of the Solstice Pod connected to the learning facilitator's display.
Click Save.
Drag Flat Panel or Projector displays into the room to place team blocks. This is required to connect and route to and from team displays.
Enter a Team Name and select a color for the team. These elements help learning facilitators differentiate between the team block displays.
On the Pod Address line, enter the IP address of the Solstice Pod connected to this team block's display.
You can optionally drag tables and chairs into the team block. Use the controls below the team block to size up, size down, rotate, and delete furniture elements.
You may also rotate all placed team block elements to represent their orientation in the space.
When you are done configuring the team block, click Save. Repeat step 7 as needed for other team blocks.
Choose one Pod to play audio output when content with audio is routed to multiple displays in the room (optional).
Click the three vertical dots to Edit the team block or primary display where audio should play.
Click the Activate audio output toggle on (green), then click Save.
Place a door in the correct location so learning facilitators can quickly orient themselves in relation to the room.
Chairs and tables can also be placed in the room outside of team blocks to help create an accurate representation of the room.
When you are done building the Active Learning space, click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
For quick room creation, you can duplicate an existing Active Learning room.
Go to the home screen of the Active Learning app and find the learning space to duplicate in the list.
Click the vertical ellipsis icon next to the room name, then select Duplicate.
A new Active Learning space named "Copy of [original room name]" appears in your rooms list.
To edit an Active Learning room, go to the home screen of the Active Learning app and find the learning space to edit in the list.
Click the vertical ellipsis icon next to the room name, then select Edit.
The design panel opens, allowing you to edit the room configuration.
When you are done making changes, click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
To edit an Active Learning room, go to the home screen of the Active Learning app and find the learning space to delete in the list.
Click on the vertical ellipsis icon next to the room name, then select Delete.
When prompted if you are sure you want to delete the room, click Confirm to permanently delete the room.
