Educator is a useful program that offers powerful multimedia support while retaining its ability to quickly and easily turn out study decks for last-minute use.

Import existing data to create study, test and printed decks from your existing content.

Educator's learning algorithms help you thoroughly master the study material. The program tracks your progress and focuses attention on those questions causing difficulty while continuing to reinforce areas of strength.

Build your enthusiasm with speed challenges, reverse-order passes and the entertaining Cheers and Jeers audio feature.

Support your basic content with audio files, graphics and video clips and embedded Windows objects. Choose from standard, fill-in or multiple choice question formats. Educator has multiple-required-answer capabilities for BOTH fill-in and multiple choice.

Programmable Glossary Buttons make it easy to enter accented characters needed for foreign language study, speeding both creation and study phases.

Built-in spell-checking and thesaurus support can even import your existing Microsoft custom dictionaries. Additional foreign language dictionaries are available for free download.

WinFlash has been repeatedly recognized as the leading program of its type, winning the Shareware Industry Award for Best Educational Program, the Educational Shareware Cooperative's People's Choice and 5-star rankings from many popular download sites.

Here are some key features of "WinFlash Educator":

· Educator can import directly from text, delimited text, .csv, and columnar data on the Windows clipboard, allowing easier creation of study decks from already-existing materials. HandyCards and JTutor files can be imported as well, making it easy to work with your PDA
· Flashcard Exchange and HandyCards files can be opened directly, without importation steps
· New QuickDeck editing mode allows the fastest possible creation of text-only decks. Simply tab between Q and A and then on to the next pair.
· Educator can export to text, delimited text, HandyCards and JTutor files - allowing you to study the materials created with Educator on multiple platforms
· Educator has Text-To-Speech support - let your PC read your decks to you. Even more powerful - export your decks in .wav or .mp3 format for study when PC or PDA use is impractical
· Flz files now store all accompanying .fld settings within the .FLZ file itself. You no longer need include a .fld in order to set colors, fonts, etc. WinFlash creates a companion .fld for the .FLZ file the first time it is opened on the user's machine but does NOT transfer any pair statistics from the original .fld file removing the necessity of scrubbing the .fld file prior to including it in the distribution build
· Introductions can have a sound file to accompany them
· The Create Composite Source Files tool can convert all standard pairs to FIB pairs automatically. This allows using standard pairs for your decks to maintain flexibility in using the two new options below while being able to create source files for use in the creation of .FLT test files (whose pairs must all be automatically scoreable NON-standard pairs)
· Run a standard-pair deck in multiple choice mode with the multiple choices automatically generated from the other pairs' answers - great for things like vocabulary, state capitals, etc.!
· Run a standard-pair deck in fill-in mode with the required answer generated from the text portion of the standard pair. Similarly, run a deck created in fill-in mode as standard when you don't feel like typing in the answers!
· Passworded access to the Educator features is provided as an option - this same password can also be required for access to the Options dialog. This allows installation of Educator on machines which will also be used to administer tests.
· Powerful file creation feature (Educator|Create Composite Source File) merges pairs from two already-existing source decks. Filter by only including specific categories and/or specific pair characteristics (disabled, priority, unlearned, etc.). Pairs can be added to the output deck from the pairs that pass the filter criteria by manual selection and/or by specifying that a number of pairs passing the filter criteria shall be selected at random and added to the output deck.
· The capability to create "compiled" .FLZ (study) files usable by WinFlash or WinFlash Educator. These files are compiled from .FLU (source) files and include ALL of the related multimedia and graphics files supporting the study deck as well as the .FLU file itself - all compressed in a single, easy-to-use and easy-to-distribute package. .FLZ files may be passworded if desired.
· The ability to create .FLT (test) files usable by WinFlash 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 multimedia and graphics files supporting the study deck as well as the .FLU file itself.
· Use rich text format (.rtf) introductions and pair supplemental files in your decks. This allows for mixed fonts, embedded graphics and other exciting OLE-based features such as equation editing in systems with Microsoft's Equation Editor available.
· Advanced, printable, statistics allow the user to snapshot their own or their students' progress and to pinpoint areas of continued difficulty by category or by specific pair.
· A backup utility allows a copy of all root-named files needed by the deck to be saved with BAK appended to the root name.
· A delete utility assures that all root-named files associated with the deck are deleted when a deck is removed.
· Educator will open .FLR result files created when closing the .FLT test file
