User Guide

Using this Manual

This manual is set up for use as a step-by-step user guide and as a reference manual. The first

four chapters (including this one) allow you to get familiar with the unit, take you through the

basic steps for setting up the Group Education Controller 3 (GEC3) for use, and give a quick

review of use and answer frequently asked questions. The next five chapters describe how to

set up a class and teacher and describe each mode and the shared tabs. These chapters can be

read through (as a user guide) or used for reference purposes when you need to check what

the functionality is for a specific screen of field on a screen. The mode and tab descriptions

follow the actual setup of the modes and tabs on the GEC3, making it easy to find the section

you want. Each chapter is described below. The last chapter is an installation guide, to be used

by GEC3 Administrator, or the person in charge of installing the unit.
