Scholastic Education Technology Programs System Requirements Scholastic Education Technology Programs Version 2.3.x System Requirements & Technical Overview Scholastic Achievement Manager and Scholastic Education Technology Programs The Scholastic Achievement Manager (SAM) is the learning management system and technology platform for Scholastic Education Technology programs. SAM provides administrators with the ability to implement and monitor applications on a district-wide basis. SAM also has district-wide capabilities such as district reporting, adequate yearly progress (AYP), demographic grouping and reporting, and AYP demographic filtering. For the teacher, SAM provides multiple supports for classroom management and data-driven instruction.

Scholastic Education Technology Programs Version 2.3.x System Requirements & Technical Overview Technology Platform Scholastic Education Technology programs are built using Internet and industry-standard technology in order to provide capacity for high levels of concurrent usage and reliability. They use standard Internet components that simplify setup and optimize issues surrounding student access to servers. Clients run in standard web browsers and connect to servers over HTTP or HTTPS. Scholastic Education Technology programs require a persistent connection to a server computer hosted by the district or a Scholastic data center. This server, the SAM Server, combines the functions of an application server (running programs) with a database server (managing and storing data). Installations using more than one SAM Server at the district level may require an additional aggregation server to gather, manage, and store data from across the different SAM Servers (this is not required of districts using a Scholastic data center to host the SAM Server). Scholastic Education Technology programs use browser-based clients. This requires large media files (video, etc.) be sent to the client over the network. To reduce network congestion, Scholastic strongly recommends installing one or more Scholastic Media Accelerators (SMA) (page 9). The recommended system requirements outlined in the following sections are based on a certification process in which applications are put through a rigorous set of tests to determine their stability, performance, and compatibility with each other and with a wide variety of hardware and software environments. Scholastic lists requirements that have been tested and will be supported by Scholastic should issues arise. Noncertified configurations may be compatible with Scholastic Education Technology programs, but Scholastic cannot guarantee support for these configurations. Scholastic Education Technology Programs v2.3.x Updated 07.07.14 • 2 System Requirements & Technical Overview PDF0634 (PDF) TM ® & © Scholastic Inc. All rights reserved. Scholastic Education Technology Programs Version 2.3.x System Requirements & Technical Overview Server Requirements Local District Servers System requirements for locally installed SAM Servers: • Operating System: Macintosh OS X Server 10.7.3 through 10.9.x; Windows Server 2003 (32 bit), Windows 2008 (64 bit), Windows Server 2012 (64 bit); Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (64 bit); 64-bit operating systems recommended • Memory: 4 GB RAM (more for higher concurrency levels) • Processor: Intel Xeon dual-core (higher speed/more cores for higher concurrency levels) • Hard Drive: 20 GB free for single-school servers, 200 GB for large multi-school servers • Internet: SAM Servers must have Internet access Scholastic recommends multi-core Intel Xeon processors (or equivalent) operating at 2.0 GHz or better for servers. Faster processors, more cores, and more memory all contribute to the ability of the server to handle higher numbers of concurrent users and larger databases. Scholastic Education Technology programs may be installed on virtual servers using virtualization software such as VMWare ESX4.x. Resources for the Scholastic VM should be dedicated, not shared. Contact Scholastic Technical Services if planning a deployment using virtual servers. Scholastic Education Technology programs are not supported on servers using these operating systems: • Windows 2000 Server, Windows NT • Macintosh OS X Server 10.0 through 10.7.2 • Novell Netware, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10 Scholastic Education Technology programs are not compatible with Power PC Macintosh servers. For installations that serve a large number of concurrent users or 100,000+ active student accounts, additional SAM servers may be required (see Concurrency, page 6). Scholastic Data Centers Districts using a Scholastic Data Center to host their SAM Server do not require a locally installed server, but require an SMA (page 9). The hosted SAM Server uses an SSL connection to communicate with workstations. Scholastic automatically installs new programs and updates, backs up user data nightly, and stores all user data, including backups, in encrypted format. Contact Scholastic Technical Support with questions regarding server requirements.

Thin Client workstations are not certified or recommended for Scholastic programs. Scholastic Education Technology version 2.3.x programs support a wide range of client workstations running many different processors and operating systems. As a general rule, any workstation or laptop purchased in the last four years should be capable of running any Scholastic Education Technology program. Districts considering using older workstations should consider the following factors: Workstations, laptops, or netbooks with Intel Atom processors (or equivalent) may or may not be suitable for running Scholastic Education Technology programs, depending on the processor’s version, clock speed, and supporting hardware. Scholastic recommends testing any Atom-based system with the application(s) you intend to use. Note for Districts Using Internet Explorer 8 or Windows XP: Staring with Scholastic Education technology programs version 2.3, Scholastic no longer supports using Internet Explorer 8 with its programs. Version 2.3 programs require Internet Explorer 9 or later. Windows XP does not allow users to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9. Districts using Windows XP will not be able to run Internet Explorer 9 on their workstations. Scholastic recommends using Chrome 24 or later or Firefox version 27 or later on workstations using Windows XP.

  • Chromebooks + Chromecast in the Classroom
    CHROMEBOOKS + CHROMECAST IN THE CLASSROOM As more Chromebook™ models enter the market, it’s becoming harder for schools to choose the best one to meet their needs. Which one has the power to run the latest online educational content such as Kno™ online textbooks and BioDigital Human™? Which one offers the best visual experience when using Chromecast™ in the classroom? Each model delivers a different experience for teachers teaching and students learning in the classroom. Here in the Principled Technologies labs, we put on our teacher hats and looked at an Intel® Core™ i3 processor-powered Chromebook and an ARM® processor-based Chromebook. We performed tasks a science teacher might include while giving a lesson in the classroom, such as using a Kno online textbook and looking at different 3D anatomy models in BioDigital Human. We measured aspects of user experience that would matter to students and teachers—time to complete tasks and frame rate. Which Chromebook is the better choice for teaching in the classroom? We found that the Intel Core i3 processor-powered Chromebook outperformed the ARM processor-based Chromebook across the board, delivering up to 250.0 percent more frames per second than the ARM processor-based Chromebook when using BioDigital Human with Chromecast. The Intel Core i3 processor-powered Chromebook also took just over half the time to complete a series of tasks, including opening BioDigital Human over 22 seconds faster than the ARM processor-based Chromebook. OCTOBER 2014 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES TEST REPORT Commissioned by Intel Corp. WHICH PROCESSOR IS IN YOUR CHROMEBOOK? There are many different Chromebooks on the market.
