Roman Gods 3.1

The Horace Trail 2
Cross-platform version copyright 2008 J-PROGS

The main research for the original Horace Trail was done in 2002, when an analysis of the whole corpus of Horace’s writings was created, before journeys were undertaken to Italy, Greece and Turkey. The intention was to visit and include every place mentioned in the poems. The Horace Trail was published by Oxford University Press and was used and enjoyed in many schools and colleges. It benefited from around 400 JPEG images, which could be accessed from the CD and used in electronic assignments.

New for 2008, we have updated the earlier work and brought it under our own
J-PROGS umbrella for publication.

The Horace Trail 2 is more compatible with modern systems than before, and has been given new functionality, including customisable quizzes using our Quizbuilder system, first developed for use in our programs Pompeii and Greek Gods.

Version 2 of this software benefits from:

Various replacement photographs and minor interface improvements
Quizbuilder system allowing users to test themselves on any of the major sections of the program, building randomised quizzes based on a database of questions
Level 1 quizzes allow for multiple choice selections to be made
Level 2 quizzes require answers to be typed in full
Networking capabilities, allowing scores to be logged and consulted on modern systems (Read/Write access must be provided to allow all the systems in the program to work)
Password protection for score handling features
Enhanced interactivity, with responses given to names supplied by the users
Compatibility with Windows XP, Vista and Mac OSX systems

Network administrators can select score saving options ranging from "Don't save anything when student quits", to "Save scores to list of previous users", or "Save scores to hard disk". The list of previous users now keeps scores of the previous 50 users, which can be accessed and printed as a separate file for teacher records, if required.

The Horace Trail 2 can be used on any modern Mac or PC with at least 32 mb of RAM and a 14 inch monitor. It can be used directly from the CD without installation or it will take up around 75 mb of space if installed on your hard disk or network, where a site licence has been purchased. It will run on any Windows system from 95 to XP, or on a Mac, from OS 7.5 to OS X.
