FAQs for EBI's Langauage Lab Systems

Does it matter what vendor I purchase this system from?

Definitely. The boxes software and hardware arrive in are only the beginning. You’ll need the right vendor to install these systems correctly for prolonged use. You’ll need training from experienced specialists. And you’ll need a vendor you can rely on over time to maintain your systems and keep your educators abreast of new developments and improvements.

Will this work with my existing language lab systems?

That depends on your current systems. Older hardware often risks compromising performance, and EBI is dedicated to not allowing our clients to find themselves in that situation. Some newer hardware and software may work well with available systems. The best thing to do is arrange a consultation to get answers about your specific systems.

How often will I need to upgrade my multimedia language learning system or software?

That depends on the needs of your students and teachers. EBI offers several effective plans to address the need for regular updates and maintenance, without encountering unexpected expenses.

Can students use this system from home or over the web?

Many of our latest systems can be made web accessible, so that students can do their oral work from home, as well as traditional homework.

Will our students do better on the language AP exams?

Practice, practice, practice. The right language lab system can give many students a level of one-on-one attention that teachers could never achieve with traditional methods. They can also make foreign language experiences fun for all involved. These factors can lead to students with an enhanced grasp of the language they’re studying.

Will these systems allow students to get involved in online activities that will distract them from school?

The language lab systems we work with can be set to comply with any security standards or online access policies your educational institution has, or wants to implement.

When we need your help, how quickly will we be able to reach you?

For emergency calls, our technicians can respond with on-site visits by the next school day – usually sooner. Phone support is available throughout the school day.
