[edit] How Help Works

This manual contains a Quick Start Tutorial which should help you create your first quiz but there are also 5 chapters which describe how to use the software in more detail. The Extras chapter outlines some new or different ways to use the software. If you experiencing some difficulties you might find some useful information in the Frequently Asked Questions chapter.

The current PDF version was produced on 15th August 2009 and might not include everything that is available online. The online manual is added to and amended on a regular basis, when a signficant change has been made (eg a new chapter or new tutorial) we will generate a new PDF version.
