Installation notes for schools using RM Community Connect 3

1) Install to RMPublic
2) Create Shortcuts
3) Allocate shortcuts to teachers and students
4) If necessary, prevent 'Software Restrictions' for Classroom Q&A

1) RMPublic (Drive P:)

From the archive, extract the files shown below to a folder on the RMPUBLIC drive –
eg. P:\Classroom Q&A\

**Note**
classroomqa_licence.cli (not required for trial installation)
Create a notepad file called “teacherservers.txt” with the configuration details for your school.

2) RMShortcut Bank
The shortcuts to the teacher & student programs need to be placed in the shortcut bank.
This is found on the main server and can be accessed by a sysadmin as followed:
• From the START button click run & type the root of your server
Eg.

• Open the RMShortcut Bank folder

• Create a shortcut to Classroom Teacher.exe and call it
Target: “P:\Classroom Q&A\Classroom Teacher.exe”
Start In: “N:\”

• Create a shortcut to Classroom Student.exe and call it
Target: “P:\Classroom Q&A\Classroom Student.exe”
Start In: “N:\”

Now, ensure that the "Classroom Q&A Teacher shortcut" is allocated to Staff. This can be done using a new program set as above or by adding the shortcut to an existing set such as "Staff Tools" (Where the shortcut for “RM Tutor 2 Teacher” would be)
