How to Use LENA Technology

4. Process LENA Devices (4 min)

Process devices as soon as possible after the LENA Day, and at least one day before the scheduled coaching session.

Here's a typical workflow:

For processing, you will need:

  • LENA devices.
  • LENA Hub computer.
  • Multi Dock with power cord, PC cable, and USB cables.
  • Power outlets or a power strip.
  • After a LENA Day page. Keep a copy by your LENA Hub computer for easy reference. 

Helpful, but not necessary: 

  • Attendance record for the LENA Day being processed.
  • SPACE! Don’t try to do this on a messy or small desk.

Follow each step in the presentation below to process your LENA devices.

 



Helpful tips:

  • Follow the steps in order. Shortcuts cause problems. Go slow to go fast!

  • Allow 2–3 minutes per child to set up processing. The computer takes up to 20 minutes per child to finish. (You don’t need to stay for this to happen!)

  • Before printing reports, confirm data for all children from the last LENA Day.
    • If reports look incomplete, data may still be processing.
    • However, if it’s been over 24 hours, contact LENA Support!
