The Sanako Unit
The Sanako Unit is one of the most extensively used pieces of software in the GDL. Installed at every student station, it allows for audio/video playback and recording, as well as teacher-student and student-teacher interaction. Everyone should be familiar with its basic functions.

Recording and Saving Audio Files
*Log onto the computer with your University-assigned user-name and password.
- Record your file using SANAKO Study 1200, which is located on the desktop of your computer.

You can do this by double clicking on the speaker icon at the lower right of the toolbar and looking at the "Live In" volume bar.
- Save your file. Under File in the Sanako unit, select Save As.
- Save the file to your Desktop or Box Drive as an .mp3 and then email or upload to Canvas according to your professor's instructions. In naming your file, be sure to include your last name. (To save the audio portion of a video source, save the file to your Desktop as a .dis format.)
- Listen to your recording to verify its quality.
- Send it to your Professor or colleague(s) via email.
