Kolibri Syncing

We call this Layer 2 because we now enable one-way content delivery (from the internet, to RACHEL, to Securebooks). We keep the students and their Securebooks off the Internet. We do connect them to RACHEL, but RACHEL is not on the internet, just a wireless connection point that hosts content (kind of like how when you're on an airplane and you an watch a small sample of movies or TV shows without internet).

Our first operational deployment of this is for Echo Glen High School and Echo Glen Children's Center (closed custody youth correctional facility). The teachers are not being allowed to deliver in person instruction due to COVID. Teachers are recording videos on a weekly basis for the students. Included in the videos are instructions to complete and print for turn in. RACHEL devices are put online for an hour or so on a weekly basis to get new content

Syncing RACHEL to Kolibri Studio

You have two choices to update RACHEL. Either you can (a) put RACHEL on the internet. From there, you will use a laptop or tablet to connect to RACHEL

Updating Securebooks w/ Kolibri

If you haven't used the admin account to configure WiFi access, make sure to use the admin account to configure WiFi access so that the Securebook can connect from the red docking station to the WiFi singal. A Securebook will have to be configured the first time it is placed on any new docking station. If you have multiple docking stations in a room, the admin should configure WiFi access on each docking station.
