WinFlash Educator v5.1 was the initial release of the professional version of WinFlash.  Educator is ONLY available for 32-bit operating systems (Win '9x or Windows NT), but the files it creates can be used with either the 16- or 32-bit version of regular WinFlash.

Educator contains all of the features of regular WinFlash plus the following additional capabilities:

Passworded access to the Educator features is provided as an option.  This allows installation of Educator on machines that will also be used to administer tests.

Powerful new .FLU file creation feature (Educator|Create Composite Source File) merges Q&A pairs from two already-existing  .FLU files. Filter by only including specific categories and/or specific Q&A pair characteristics (disabled, priority, unlearned, etc.). Q&A pairs can be added to the output file from the Q&A pairs that pass the filter criteria by manual selection and/or by specifying that a number of Q&A pairs passing the filter criteria shall be selected at random and added to the output file.  See Creating Composite Source Files for more detail.

 The capability to create compiled .FLZ (study) files usable by WinFlash v5.1 or WinFlash Educator.  These files are compiled from .FLU (source) files and include ALL of the related multi-media and graphics files supporting the study file as well as the .FLU file itself - all compressed into a single, easy-to-use and easy-to-distribute file.

 

.FLZ files may be passworded if desired.

The ability to create .FLT (test) files usable by WinFlash v5.1 or WinFlash Educator.  .FLT files are similar to .FLZ files in that they are compiled from .FLU (source) files and include ALL of the related multi-media and graphics files supporting the study file as well as the .FLU file itself.  When opened, this type of file forces the program into Test Mode which includes:

 - Password, Student Name and Student ID entry for the test file

 - Display of Introductory Message containing any specific

         instructions for the test

 - Status Bar including:

         - Elapsed time display (if there is a time limit on the test)

         - Two minute warning during timed tests

         - Display of currently-stored answer (for review)

                       - Count of remaining unanswered questions

         - Go To Next Unanswered Question function

         - Forward and Backward browse buttons

 

 Educator (but not regular WinFlash) will open .FLR result files created when closing the .FLT test file and provide the following information:

 - Student name

 - Name of test

 - Date test was administered

 - 8-character student ID identifying the test result file

 - Number of questions in the file

 - Number of correct answers

 - Number of skipped answers

 - Percentage score based on (Correct/Total)*100%

 - Percentage score based on ((Correct-Incorrect)/Total)*100%

 

View (5-column display) or print results array showing above statistics and one of two array options:

 - A 3-column display in portrait format with question number,

         score and the actual answer given, if any.

 - A 5-column display in landscape format with question number,

         score, question text, the actual answer given, if any and '

         the correct answer.

 

 Print out formatted tests from the current .FLU file if a written exam format is needed.  "Standard" Q&A pairs can be included in the printed tests (.FLT files must contain only Multiple-choice or Fill-in-the-blank Q&A pairs - easily selected using the Create Composite Source File capability).
