Installing StudyReel

How to install the core software you'll need to get rolling with AlphaAnywhere

Updated over 2 months ago

StudyReel is the core software your child will use to manage daily academic tasks. Installation is simple, and we’ve provided both written instructions and a video walkthrough to support you.

Step 1: Open the install Guide

Click here to go to the detailed guide which will walk you through every step to install StudyReel on a Mac or a Windows machine. Remember, this install will not work on a Chromebook or an iPad.

Step 2: Watch the install Video

It was a direct-to-TV movie, but we’re still proud of it. If the install guide was too many words, you can watch the steps as a video here. 🎥

Important note

This screen will ask you for permission for all three, but Alpha Anywhere only uses one permission here. The computer does not use the audio or the camera for passive data collection in Alpha Anywhere. This is a school-only feature. You’ll still be asked to accept on this screen, but these two features will not engage while using the platform.

When your Mac or PC asks for permissions to be granted after the install is complete, you’ll need to make sure to accept these to allow the program to view and capture the screen. (similar to other programs that screen clip).

Other tips

  1. StudyReel can be installed on more than 1 computer, but only use one instance at a time.

  2. The preferred approach is to have a dedicated computer for learning, but this is up to you.

  3. StudyReel will record what’s happening on the computer ONLY to drive data collection

  4. Data collection takes place only while StudyReel is running.
