Accessit Kiosk vs Narrator AR

The Kiosk App is simple to configure and connect to your library. The features permitted are directly connected to the User Settings within the Accessit Library Management App, and these permissions can be updated at any point. Details on configuration are available from within the Accessit Customer Help Portal. Once downloaded and configured, users will be able to scan their patron card (using the tablet camera) or type in their patron number, and scan the book/s they wish to check-out. The timer ensures the screen clears after a certain length of inactivity, to prevent patrons accidentally issuing books to the wrong person. This app works in conjunction with the Accessit Library management system, 9.1.4 and above. Details on the Accessit Library management system can be found at: https://www.accessitlibrary.com/ This app is a superb addition to the Accessit Library and information management software solution. It continues the long tradition of outstanding innovation in library management, and is a reminder of why Accessit Library is seen by many as the leader in the field.

NOTE: This app works in conjunction with printed activity sheets or books from NarratorAR.com.au Pioneering immersive technology for kindergarten, Narrator AR encourages children to pick up a pen and write before using the app to animate handwritten words off the page in augmented reality. It encourages children at a vital stage of early education to engage essential fine motor and cognitive skills in order to support early literacy and brain development. Watching letters and numbers form in 3D animation helps young learners gain a deep understanding of how to write. It is specifically beneficial for visual learners. Sustaining interest and engagement is a challenge so we have introduced alternative endings for each AR animation, delivered in a random sequence. This encourages children to ‘write more’ and ‘play again’. AR activity sheets connect children to their work and gamifying handwriting from simple introductory activities to word hunts, AR adventures and 'get moving' activities. Activities follow children through over a year of learning skills, applying knowledge and then building confidence as writers and storytellers.   Narrator AR is ideal for group or independent classroom use, 1:1 home learning or OT sessions. The app is designed for 3-5year olds and popular with people learning English as a second language.
