We have followed Rainer's suggestions and made considerable changes to the HELP documentation. This is now in .chm format and amongst other things allows direct access to all the Demo quizzes.
Now Teaching Templates is again Netscape 6 compatible. If they keep changing the specifications we may give up!
Introduction of a "Submit Results Option" in all templates. It is now possible for the user to send the results of the quizzes to his or her supervisor. Many of our customers have asked for this feedback feature ... hope it proves useful.
It is now possible to change the font size on the flash cards. Thanks Tristan. It was a valuable suggestion.
The Registration procedure has been modified - partially for security reasons, but also to make Teaching Templates available to all our users with East Asian codepage settings.
Made some much-needed improvements to the parser in the Gap Text Template.
Pruned and planed to reduce the program size by almost 1MB.
The main "big blue double T" opening screen is now standard on all Windows platforms.
The interactivity of the Gap Text template has been improved with a pull-down menu to display all of the words which have been "clozed" in the exercise, and an option to show the correct answer if an incorrect choice has been made.
A Task Manager template (ttmanager.html) has been introduced - a facility to link a series of exercises and, if required, to send e-mail feedback to the supervisor. Navigation command buttons can now be inserted in each quiz.
In the In Other Words and What's Your Opinion templates a confirm box has replaced the "ok" option thus allowing the user to cancel the revision procedure.
Teaching Templates should now run on non-Western/-Latin codepage systems ... feedback please if our users in Russia, Greece and lots of Asian countries still have problems!
The printing options in all templates have been extended to allow a choice or printer and the opportunity to format output in a real text box.
It is now impossible to delete all questions upto and including -1 in the quizzes! You can still delete them all, but it stops at number 1.
It is now possible to use "Crtl-A" in all textfields to select the entire text.
Teaching Templates is now Netscape 6 compatible.
When in Teaching Templates a quiz was opened, modified and then a second quiz was opened, the "save" option for the first quiz was not always active. This bug has been fixed.
Three new variants have been included in the "Template Options" menu:
- 1. Override Netscape Search: solves a problem some customers experienced with registry entries for Netscape even though the browser was not installed on their system.
- 2. Override Netscape 6 search: Same as above but for the new Netscape product.
- 3. Search again for Browsers: This option was included also for problem-solving reasons. If a browser has been uninstalled or a new one installed it may be necessary to re-set the Teaching Templates browser configuration.
19th August 2000: Teaching Templates 1.2.1 - Click here to download a small update patch. This fixes a problem some users have encountered with manually inserting gap 20 in the GAP TEXT template. Please note that the update can only be used with the current 1.2.0 version. It will not update the previous versions of Teaching Templates. Please also make sure that, when prompted, the updater is pointing at the directory where Teaching Templates has been installed on your system.
