Zoom, Google Meet, Jitsi and MS Teams integration on mozaWeb

16 Αυγούστου 2021 Fazekas Máté

To mitigate the transmission of Covid-19, the world of education has changed massively, the use of remote teaching and digital educational solutions have become widespread all around the world. With this, video conferencing tools and virtual classrooms became an essential part of student-teacher interactions. We have worked a lot to make the teacher’s and students' lives easier in these trying times. 

We are super excited to announce that we are introducing the integration of video conference tools to the group management feature on mozaWeb. 

For the classes and study groups created on mozaWeb, now kickstarting a video lesson from the platform is just one click away. By selecting your preferred external solution (Google Meet and Zoom) or the internally integrated Mozaik-Jitsi video conferencing tool (needs a local server to be installed), mozaWeb immediately launches the room for your group. 

We have created a video showcasing the practical use of the video conferencing features on mozaWeb, showing both the teacher-side and the student-side view for you. 

The feature has been created for your convenience, you just need to select which video conferencing solution you wish to start the video lesson with (please also refer to the screenshot below). 

You can watch the video we have created for your convenience below:

Experiences of Mittelpunkt Elementary School of Haiger

15 Μαρτίου 2021 Ádám Böngyik

Our esteemed partner school, Mittelpunktgrundschule and Mozaik has come to an important milestone in their cooperation, it has been three years that we work together. During this period this institution had the opportunity to experience the full-on potential of mozaLearn, our digital education system. Their experience showed us that the complexity of our product doesn’t represent any difficulty, after a short period of familiarization the staff was able to use it smoothly. We are proud of the fact that they had little to no technical issues, or in the event of the occurrence of an inconvenience our team has provided the necessary support rapidly and effectively.

Mozaik always underlines the importance of its educational background, that helps the company in the creation of an efficient, easy-to use and didactically-methodologically adequate product. We were delighted to see that our partner school expressed its satisfaction regarding this unique aspect of mozaLearn that is unparalleled on the market. With the intuitive and visually appealing user interface even the colleagues with less experience in technology could have an entertaining learning process.

The features of mozaBook came in so handy for them that they slowly became part of everyday life. The cloud based nature of the product allowed the teachers to create content from the comfort of their homes, and later use that in any classroom that has the required infrastructure, or even to pass it on to their colleagues. The integrated browser and the preexisting database transforms mozaBook into an all-in-one solution for them. Based on their feedback, mozaBook is now an integrated part of every subject, even social and religious studies.

During the pandemic mozaBook’s video recorder gained significant importance for the teachers, because with the help of it, they were able to create and send video lessons to their pupils.

Mozaik’s mozaLearn system now represents such a high value for Mittelpunktgrundschule that they offered to volunteer to demonstrate the use of mozaBook in actual real life circumstances.

To find more information about our esteemed partner school, have a look at their website. http://www.mittelpunktgrundschule-haiger.de/ 

We are delighted to announce that Mozaik and Vodafone continue to have a cooperation that helps digital education with educational software. The two companies have been working together since March 2020 to support students and teachers with the switch to digital education. During last spring and summer, Mozaik has made its media library and textbooks free of charge, and Vodafone provided the opportunity for users to use these without consuming their mobile data. Besides this, Mozaik and Vodafone launched their Digital Education Packages in October 2020. The packages are giving access for a small monthly fee for students of elementary and high schools to interactive educational content and books. Both of these projects had the intention of helping students and teachers alike with home learning and distance learning.In sequence to the aforementioned two projects, Mozaik and Vodafone have a new one that aims to further aid 45 sub-regional schools included in Vodafone’s Digital School Program, and their 1400 teachers with free mozaBook Classroom licences until the end of the school year, and also with 5 freely selectable digital textbooks. Thanks to the program, in these schools that are teaching disadvantaged children, 13.000 students can experience quality education whether in class or through distance learning free of charge.

The Vodafone Foundation and Mozaik joined forces to secure the existence of digital education in sub-regions, where home and distance-learning is difficult to be established. “The shift to distance learning and learning at home last year has been an unprecedented challenge for teachers, parents and students. All this meant even bigger difficulties for schools operating in sub-regions. The Vodafone Foundation and Mozaik would like to help them with the free mozaBook access, because one of our most important tenet is that every child deserves a  quality education, and we are making every possible effort to support them” - said Emőke Flakstad, secretary-general of Vodafone Hungary Foundation.

mozaBook was optimized for interactive boards and PCs and its biggest advantage is that it can be used both in class and at home. The systems’ digitized books are enriched with 3D scenes, videos, tasks and thematic tools. Besides mozaBook, Mozaik and the Vodafone Foundation are offering any 5 of these books for the teachers free of charge. With this, more than 13.000 disadvantaged students can experience the opportunities presented by quality digital education.

“Unfortunately the situation of teachers and students hasn’t become easier this school year either, most of them are still facing the challenges of efficient participation in digital education. It is of utmost importance to emphasize that the question is not just what we teach, but how we pass this knowledge on to the future generations.” - said Dr. Ildikó Török, business-development director of Mozaik Education.

New Digital Education Packages from Vodafone

30 Οκτωβρίου 2020 Máté Fazekas

We are happy to announce that Mozaik Education’s new Digital Education Packages, created in the framework of a partnership with Vodafone, are available for Vodafone customers from 20 October 2020. These unique packages aim to improve access to immersive digital content for primary and secondary school students as well as to develop students’ digital skills. The common goal of Vodafone Hungary and Mozaik Education is to fight against social inequalities by providing access to high-quality educational content for the next generation and improving their digital skills using interactive learning content.

As part of the new Digital Education Packages, users can get unlimited access to mozaWeb, Mozaik Education’s digital educational platform, which contains more than 1200 interactive 3D scenes, 1200 videos, 120 subject-related tools and games, 780 audios, 5300 images as well as numerous exercises and worksheets to support education and learning in the digital space. Also, these packages include digital textbooks as well (1 or 5 freely chosen, primary or secondary school textbooks), which, together with the interactive content, help to process new knowledge and to deepen and practice the acquired knowledge.

“High-quality education should be available for every child. This was our basic idea, when back in spring, due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus, we decided to offer Mozaik Education’s digital educational content without having to use any data from the plan. This remained our main focus when we created the two new Digital Education Packages as, for only the price of a meal, we can provide our clients with high-quality, exciting digital educational content every month.” said Balázs Révész, Vodafone Hungary’s Consumer Business Unit Director. One of the advantages of the new packages is that customers can purchase them without having to sign a fixed-term plan, this way, customers can buy this service only for a month, such as when preparing for a final test or aiming to improve marks at the end of the school year.

"Education today faces challenges worldwide. The question today is not only what to teach; it is just as important to decide how and in what form we should pass on knowledge to future generations. During the 30 years of Mozaik's existence, we have been committed to widely available, innovative, and high-quality education. This spring, we decided to make our digital content andour popular and well-tried textbooks available for hundreds of thousands of Hungarian students free of charge. Thanks to Vodafone, the provider's customers could enjoy this content with free data usage. The newly introduced Digital Education Packages aim to support those who want help to process the study materials more easily and in a more engaging way,” said Dr. Ildikó Török, Business Development Director at MOZAIK Education.

The Digital Education Package Basic, available for a monthly fee of HUF 750, provides unlimited access to Mozaik Education's cloud-based, integrated education system and includes free access to one selected textbook. The Digital Education Package Extra, available for a monthly fee of HUF 2,490, also provides unlimited access to the learning material available on mozaWeb and, in addition, students can choose five digital textbooks offered for their school grade. These interactive textbooks help make learning more exciting, faster, and more lasting; they are recommended for parents and students who want to make learning at home an entertaining experience. Customers can activate for any Vodafone monthly plan in the MyVodafone application or via online or telephone customer service. It can also be added to newly purchased fixed-term plans in the Vodafone webshop and stores. The service can also be ordered by parents; students do not need to have a fixed-term Vodafone plan.

 

 

 

mozaBook 2020 August update (4.5.7.101) and development news

23 Σεπτεμβρίου 2020 Máté Fazekas

We are proud to present you the new features introduced in mozaBook's newest stable version (4.5.7.101) release. Apart from general stability and performance improvements, here is a list of the most important updates:

  • We have introduced a new intelligent view for the publication menu. Users are now able to access instantly the most recently opened publications and exercise books. Furthermore, publications can be categorized by subject, grade, publication type, publisher, series, and age group.  Users can filter for primary aspects straight from the book self and then further categorise in the view menu for secondary attributes to form folders. They can quickly and intuitively find the desired content by selecting primary and secondary attributes (for example they can group first for subject and then further organize for publisher) with the mini-icons next to the book-shelf at the same time. With this method, as shown in the picture below, users can easily group books and atlases belonging to the subject of history.

  • We have updated the design of the media library and generally improved the UI to be more user-friendly. The functioning of the scrollbar and the quick search has been refined as well. 
  • In the media library we have redesigned the quick launch feature (rocket icon), and added a new most recent view (bull’s-eye icon) that helps to keep track of daily search and usage history.

  • In the share menu, sharing effortlessly and immediately with a group or class is now available for exercise books.
  • A 32-bit and 64-bit installer is now available separately for mozaBook
  • Stability improvements have been made to the Classwork function.

The following changes have been made regarding the localization of mozaBook:

  • New languages available for mozaBook: Thai and Serbian (latin alphabet).
  • Persian numbers have been introduced for the Farsi language.
  • The software can now handle the Thai calendar.
  • New download servers location: Croatia, Iran and Thailand.

 The following tools and games have been converted to HTML5:

  • Letter cards, Kaleidoscope, Code Breaker and Scale

We are working hard to have all of our tools and games available in HTML5 by the end of the year. 

We hope you enjoy these new updates and features that have been working on to enrich your experience with mozaBook. If you have any feedback regarding our digital educational solutions, we always welcome and appreciate your feedback!
On behalf of the whole mozaBook team, we wish all of you a successful and engaging school semester!
