Summary
From SoftLINK version 11 the Room mode method of Student Selection has been enhanced to allow a teacher to select from a predefined list of Rooms from the Class Wizard when starting the Tutor Console.

In previous versions of SoftLINK, it would be required for the Teacher to manually enter the Room Name if the Teacher ran the Tutor Console from a laptopportable device that was being moved between different classroom locations.

It is also now possible to configure the Room List to include entries that will connect to 2 or more rooms at the same time. This could be applied in a scenario where the Tutor needs to be connected to the PCs within a Classroom and also the Devices from a Laptop Trolley that has entered the classroom.
