Hope they get all the way to the final. @Geoff B – Looking forward to getting some of the quizzes your class makes.

I passed it onto a friend who was preparing her team of ESL students to enter the TV competition, It's Academic. My friend used it to cover and revise a number of categories with the whole class and the students worked at home to create their own questions using the software. They found the software a lot of fun to use and I'm very happy to say that their team won the heat and are through to the semi-finals. Thanks for this great program.

I've just downloaded it and am playing with it right now. It's absolutely gorgeous. I can see lots of uses for this with my students - particularly in the area of revision of work. I can see me using this at the end of each topic as a fun activity to go over everyhting we've covered. I aslo see a huge benefit with the students actually creating the quizzes! With 30 students in my class, I could split them into six groups and have them work on one category each. The colloborative aspect of this program is excellent. I'll make sure we send through the games we put together. Will let you know how it goes! Thanks for this great program. Stu, that’s a remarkable piece of software.
