Multi-user aspects of the Standard Version
Single-user
This is for one user on one computer.Multi-user
This is for several users on one computer. For example, each of your family members can have their own login. The settings and progress of each user is stored.Multi-user with teacher support
This version is designed for use in a school. It must be installed in one place only, for example in a shared, writable network folder. Ideally in its own fairly small partition but with some space for new users. In this version there are two types of users: ordinary users and users with teacher privileges.When ordinary users (pupils) login, they must select a teacher. The pupil will then get the lesson files that that teacher specified. So there should be a teacher's name for each different set of lesson files. An example of a teacher's login name is:
'Mr Smith'
If Mr Smith teaches typing to two different grades then he should create a different login for each grade, so for example, he could then create two users with teacher privileges:
'Mr Smith's Grade 8s' and
'Mr Smith's Grade 9s'
and give them different lesson files.
