The usual sequence is to enter the practice password when the program is started, and then the patient password is entered if access to a mobile record is needed. The Practice Password is known only to the carer / practice. It is typed in when the PCMR Program is started. It gives access to the records stored on the computer / network at the practice. The Patient Password is known to the patient, and the patient tells the carer their password at the time that a mobile record is accessed. The Patient may have 2 passwords. There is only 1 practice password. The longer and more unpredictable your password is, the more secure your record is. Patient passwords may be up to 25 characters long. The single Practice Password may be up to 50 characters long. The passwords may include any typed characters including spaces and punctuation. Note well: The tradeoff for a secure password is the possible difficulty remembering it. The same precautions that apply to a bank pin number of course similarly apply to the secrecy of a password. It is of course possible that the patient does not wish for the record to be secure, in which case carrying the PCMR has the same security as carrying a letter - anyone can read it if it falls in the street. <h2> *** TO CLOSE THIS HELP WINDOW PRESS THE SMALL "X" AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THIS WINDOW ***</h2> </C><NameHF>aaaregistrationandprivacypolicy.htm</NameHF><C> <H1>REGISTERING THIS PRODUCT AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY.</H1> The NextGenerationSuite Program is to be understood to include subprograms.

It is therefore important that the Patient considers his/her password to be as secret a thing as a 'pin number'. The Encryption used in this Software uses respected algorithms. Developments in computing power, and complexities of software can sometimes reveal vulnerabilities in software that were not anticipated initially. Please Register your copy of Next Generation Suite with our Server so that we may email you any security updates. Please contact us at <a href="http://www.nextgenerationsuite.com">the NextMR / NextMR website</a> if you feel you might have some concerns or useful information for the NextMR team. <H2> Emergency Details</h2> For more information see <a href="DefineEmergencyDetails.htm"> Emergency Details</a>. <H2>Initial Setting up of the NextMR Program on a Computer</H2> The biggest issue is that when you have the program to setup NextMR on a disk, how can you be sure that some malicious person has not substituted the NextMR Setup program for a virus ?? In the real world unfortunately you can never be more than 99% sure... and so you should only 'Run' a program that is foreign to your computer if you have confidence on where it has been, and ideally also after you have used a recognised virus checker ( that is up to date ) to check it. The safest way you can get a copy of the "NextMR Program" ( required to use NextMR's ) is to download it from the <A HREF="http://www.nextgenerationsuite.com">NextMR Website</A> . (Approx 3 mins with a 56K modem) <H2>Putting Patient Data Disks ( NextMR's ) into the computer</H2> If you put for example a floppy disk into your computer, and use the NextMR program on your computer to access the medical record on that disk, you will not just "catch a virus" on your computer. NextMR will not actually 'run' any program on that disk without permission. If NextMR comes across a type of file that it is not sure of the security of it will not use it. <h2>For Help Selecting a new Password</h2> See <a href="aaaPasswordAdvice.htm"> Password Advice </a>. </C><NameHF>aaasystemrequirements.htm</NameHF><C> <v:roundrect style="position:relative;width:324pt;height:100pt;" fillcolor="#00FF00"> <v:fill type="gradient" /><v:extrusion on="True" /><v:extrusion backdepth="2px"/><v:extrusion skewangle="225"/> <v:textbox> IF YOU CAN READ THIS TEXT AND IT HAS A GREEN BACKGROUND YOU HAVE FULL VML CAPABILITY BUT YOU MAY STILL NEED TO UPGRADE INTERNET EXPLORER TO VERSION 5.5 OR 6.0 </v:textbox></v:roundrect> IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE TEXT WITH GREEN BACKGROUND ABOVE THIS TEXT, YOU DO NOT HAVE VML CAPABILITY INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER. YOU CAN HOWEVER GET A FREE UPGRADE FROM MICROSOFT. <H1>SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS</H1> <h2>Most of the NextMR/Patient Controlled Medical Record part of this software runs normally on windows 98 on.</h2> <h2>RecallPlus needs one extra free component added to some computers -> "VML"</h2> <h3>All the things required to run this program on older versions of windows are free downloads</h3> Windows XP. No Problems. Windows 98, 2000, ME with Internet Explorer 5.5 or better --> no problems. The easiest thing to do is install Internet Explorer 6.0 as VML is usually AUTOMATICALLY a part of this.(If it does not work for you, the follow the instructions below). VML is a PART OF Internet Explorer versions 5.0 onwards, but you have to specifically agree to install it with older editions. VERSION 5.5 OR VERSION 6.0 ARE RECOMMENDED This is done by starting an Internet Explorer Install Program then 1.Selecting "Customise your Browser" rather than the "Install now-Typical" install, 2.Ticking all of the "Explorer" component options, and all of the "MultiMedia Components" down further ..especially the box saying 'VML' or Vector Graphics Rendering Remember to restart your computer after this upgrade installations. If the system refuses to let you install it, you have to actually uninstall Internet Explorer via the Control Panel / Add/Remove Software Functions, before it will let you re-install it as above again. If you have installed this on your computer, the NextGenerationSuite, when you click on 'Check Your System is Able to Run this Software' will show that VML is installed and everything is fine. Repeat ... all the things required to run this program on older versions of windows are free downloads This program has not been tested with windows 95. <h2>What happens without Vector Graphic Rendering (VML) </h2> Without VML you can view pictures in PCMR's however you are not able to vary the brightness nor vary the contrast. You will also not be able to use the RECALLPLUS Study Program, because, as a highly graphical program, it uses VML extensively. VML is a method for drawing pictures and manipulating pictures. <h2> Other Requirements </h2> Other requirements are optional. The better the videocard on the computer, the smoother and faster the images will be manipulated. As time goes on it will become more essential for carers to become able to read more convenient forms of mobile storage than floppy disks... e.g. Sercure Digital Mobile Storage Devices ( which fit into the wallet ). </C><NameHF>blank.htm</NameHF><C> </BODY> </HTML> </C><NameHF>dlgregistration.htm</NameHF><C> <H1>PRACTICE AND INSTANCE DETAILS BOX</H1> <h2>Specialty most indicative of this location</h2> This information is used to characterise the information being added to the patient record. In the <a href="ViewPatientOverview.htm"> Patient Overview page</a> there are many pages of information which are characterised by a specialty type and an action. If you enter that you are a General Practitioner and you then add a text entry to the patient record, the page added to the record will symbolise that specialty and the opinion you have given. <img SRC="GPopinion.JPG" height=64 width=130> .. represents GP -> opinion/text . <h2>Name of Doctor or Client or Practice at this Location.</h2> The name you enter will be recorded with any entries you make to the patient record. <h2>Data Directory -> Where you would like the patient records stored.</h2> This is the location on this computer or network where patient data is stored. If you change this location you will not be able to access the patient records stored at that location ( unless you copy the entire directories' contents to the new location ). So be careful !. One good reason to change the entry at this location, is if you wish multiple computers to be able to access the information at a practice. Note well that the NextMR Program does not claim to be a fully fledged database product and as such you are warned NOT to have more than one Doctor accessing the same patient record simultaneously, as results may be unpredictable. This should not be hard to avoid and in fact is unlikely. <h2>Other Demographic Details</h2> These are used at registration. Please Click on 'Why Registration is Important for Details'. None of your individual details are sold or passed on, but the information allows us to describle our users to possible sponsors in a broad mannor. This is necessary for their support. Without their support, this product will obviously become nonviable. <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h2></h2> </C><NameHF>dlgstructures.htm</NameHF><C> <H1>Welcome to the Structures Box.</H1> Structures are a 'set' of simpler objects. The objects which can contribute to a structure include, lines (multilines,polylines), circles and labels. When you right click on a text object, and select structures, as a default, the set of simple objects associated with that text (i.e. whatever drawings you have done associated with that text) are displayed in the 'Structures Box'. You immediately have the option to add this to the other structures you have saved by clicking on the 'Capture this structure for future use' button. Alternatively you may press the two 'scrolling buttons' above the image, which will allow you to look through other images to add. If you find an image that you wish to add click on 'Add This Structure to Card'. The other thing of importance is the ability to increase and decrease the size of your image, so that you may suite it better to the page. You may re-save the new image if you prefer a different size (using 'capture'). You may add what you see at any time, using the 'Add' button when you see fit. <h3> What to do with the structure once is is on the card</h3> The important thing to understand is that the 'structure' is simply a collection of usual objects, any one of which is manipulated as you usually would. Once a structure is added to the card, first move it around using the 'structure' text to the location desired. Then Option 1 Then right click on 'Structure' (text box), and select 'Re-Associate All' (which will re-associate all of the lines, circles and labels with another text if you wish to do this), then click on the text you wish to associate all the images with. Then Delete the structure Text. OR Option 2 right click on the background, and select 'Move Relative Y/N' (to allow you to move texts without them moving the structures to which they belong), and then to move the 'Structure' (text box) to whereever you would like it, then edit it to the name you wish for as usual. </C><NameHF>dlgsynchronise.htm</NameHF><C> <H1>Synchronising with Patient Data</H1> There may be many types of mobile store that a given patient turns up with. The common combination in the near future for example might be that the patient carries a floppy disk and a Sercure Digital Compatible card... the former so that carers with minimal systems can access the important data, the latter so that it can be kept in the wallet and for the extra storage ( 8meg-1gig ). Therefore at the time of logon to the patient record, we have to determine which mobile storage devices we are 'synchronising' with. A password and mouse manipulation of the list of mobile stores shown is needed. <h2></h2> <h2></h2> </C><NameHF>RecallPlusAddGraphics.htm</NameHF><C> <H1>RecallPlus Add Graphic Mode</H1> <h3>You are currently in the Add Graphic mode. Using the functions available here you can add drawings, images, and even audio visual files to help make your cards more memorable.</h3> <h2>It is important to realise that all graphics must be associated with a textbox.</h2> <h3>Each textbox is designed to contain an idea to be learnt, and any additional objects on a card should compliment the idea in a way which will help you recall the idea in the future.</h3> You can elect whether or not you want objects associated with a textbox to move when you move the textbox. By default, objects DO NOT move when you move their textbox. You can change this from learning mode ("Move Relative Y/N" from the right click list of options). You can see which textbox you are adding images and drawings to at any time by taking note of the textbox in a flashing red dotted box. You can change that textbox, by RIGHT clicking on whichever one you would like to change to. <h3><a href="RecallPlusTerms.htm">Click Here for Explanation of Terms Used</a></h3> GRAPHICS Graphics are the images associated with textboxes. Ideally they act as a visual memory aid to help you to learn and recall the information or idea contained in that textbox. <dl> <dt>Graphics can be...</dt> <dd>Drawings - free hand drawings, lines, arrows, rectangles or circles.</dd> <dd>Labels - text outside a textbox, such as numbers to link ideas in order more visually than using the connects alone.</dd> <dd>Images - pictures or AV material such as video or audio.</dd> </dl> BACKGROUND The background of a card is a blank area where there is no textbox, connect or graphic item. <h2>Entering Add Graphic Mode</h2> To enter Add Graphic Mode from Learning Mode right click on one of the text boxes and select "Add Graphic" from the options list. To enter Add Graphic Mode from Editing Mode click on the "Add Graphics" button on the editing toolbar. <h2>Adding Drawings</h2> These are the tools you can use to draw in RecallPlus <ul> <li><dl><dt>FREE Draw where your cursor acts as a pen</dt> <dd>This is the default tool when you enter graphics mode.</dd></li></dl> <li><dl><dt>LINE Draw where you left click to position the corners of a polyline.</dt> <dd>To use this tool, click the "LINE Draw" button, to finish a line right click on the background and to exit LINE Draw select a different drawing type.</dd></li></dl> <li><dl><dt>Arrow Draw which acts as a line, but with an arrowhead on the end</dt> <dd>The shape of the arrowhead can be changed from Learning Mode.

The higher the number the thicker the line.</dd> </dl> Once you have selected a pen color and width you must click in the textbox the new drawing is to be associated with. <h3>The "Fill" Function</h3> Rectangles and circles can be created either empty (fill off) or solid (fill on). You can fill in other objects you have draw from learning mode. To do this, while in learning mode, right click on the object and select "Fill On/Off". Obviously this will work better with some shapes than others <h2>Adding Other Types of Graphics</h2> <h3>Labels</h3> <dl> <dt>To add a label, click on the Add LABEL button in the graphics toolbar. You will be asked for:</dt> <dd>Label Text</dd> <dd>Label text size (smallest font = 1, no upper limit)</dd> <dd>Angle of text</dd> </dl> <h3>Pictures, Sound and Video</h3> All of these items can be added by inserting files in association with textboxes on a card. To add them, click the "Add IMAGE" button from the graphics mode toolbar and follow the instructions.

I.E. to edit the text in an existing textbox simply left click over the text once. A cursor will appear and you can start editing. NB In this mode you are concentrating on editing the text within a textbox. Note also the toolbar which gives you added options which appears as you enter Edit Text Mode. Some other functions are still possible (despite this mode being primarily for editing text), such as adding connects. To add a new textbox to your card right click on the background of the card and select TEXT ADD. A cursor will appear and you can start typing. <h2>Adding Additional Textboxes - Fast Key Combinations</h2> The advantage of using these functions is that you can continue typing without having to touch your mouse, and that a connect forms between the originally selected textbox and the new one. Ctrl-D - use to add a new textbox below, or DOWN from the selected textbox Ctrl-R - use to add a new textbox to the right of the selected textbox. <h2>The Text Editing Toolbar</h2> When you enter the Text Edit mode, you will notice a new toolbar appears. Using this 'Text Editing Toolbar' you can change the characteristics of the font within your textboxes, and those of the textbox itself. You can move this toolbar to any location on the screen you wish. To change the characteristics of existing text, highlight the text then change the parameters in the toolbox. To change the characteristics of new font, change the parameters in the toolbox, position you cursor, then start typing. Changes made will apply to the textbox selected at the time. To change the textbox you are editing, select the new textbox by left clicking in it. THE TOOLBAR OPTIONS from left to right Fast Key Combinations - click here for a list of the fastkey combinations you can use to perform common tasks within RecallPlus. Font - you can change the font of your text by left clicking on the arrow to the right of the font box (top left). A drop down box will appear with the fonts available for selection. Font size - the next box across enables you to change the size of your font by selecting the desired size from the dropdown box. Font appearance - choose bold, italics or underline to emphasise you text. Copy, Paste, Cut - use to copy, paste or cut highlighted text within the textboxes. Justification - to elect whether to have the text left justified, centered or right justified within the textbox. Shadow Depth - select the depth of the shadow surrounding your textbox. Shadow Angle - select the angle of the shadow surrounding your textbox. Textbox shape - drop down box with a selection of textbox shapes (default = rectangle). Textbox background - drop down box with options on how the color will appear within your textbox (default = gradient). New Card - creates a new card at the end of the chapter. New Textbox - adds a new textbox to the existing card. Connect To, Connect From - use to create a connect either to or from the selected textbox. You will then be prompted for the textbox to make the connections from or to. Multiple connects - use to connect several textboxes in series. When all boxes are connected, left click on the background. Undo - reverses the changes you have made, from most recent backwards. Redo - reverses "undo" Add Graphics - click on this button to add graphics. For more information on adding graphics see see <a href="RecallPlusAddGraphics.htm"> RecallPlus Add Graphics</a> Color palate and Common color box - use this to change the color of either the background of your textbox or the text itself. To choose from one of the colors shown, just click on the colored box. For a greater selection of colors, click on the Other Color button. Background <-> text - determines whether color changes you make will apply to the background or the text within a textbox. Finish - to exit edit mode when you have made all your changes. The Textbox length slide bar - use to adjust the length of the textbox. * With the cursor at the far left, the textbox will adapt to the length of the longest line you type in that textbox. * Alternatively you can drag the bar to the right and choose your desired textbox length. The height of the box will the change to accomodate all the text you have entered. <h2>Connections to other help pages</h2> Introduction see <a href="RecallPlusIntro.htm"> RecallPlus Introduction</a> Learning mode in RecallPlus see <a href="RecallPluslearning.htm"> RecallPlus Learning</a> Adding graphics see <a href="RecallPlusAddGraphics.htm"> RecallPlus Add Graphics</a> Testing yourself see <a href="RecallPlustesting.htm"> RecallPlus Testing</a> Searching RecallPlus see <a href="RecallPlussearch.htm"> RecallPlus Search</a> </C><NameHF>recallpluseditorinformation.htm</NameHF><C> <H1>RecallPlus Editor/Author Information</H1> <H2>NB 'Editor' and 'Author' are used interchangeably </H2> <h3>For the latest information Please Jump to <a href="http://www.RecallPlus.com">The RecallPlus Website</a></h3> <h2>What are the benefits of being an Editor??</h2> You will have a reason to keep up to date on the area which interests you. You will recieve the latest in opinion from around the world on the topic which interests you via the user feedback. If people like the information you provide, you will earn an income from selling this information. <h2>What information gets sent to me from the users ?? </h2> Users, whereever they may be on the globe, may find omissions, new information or errors in your chapter information compared to what they believe. When they edit their version of the chapter, that information gets sent back to the RECALLPLUS server. That information is provided to you, to help you make your chapters even more up to date and stimulating. <h2>What is the payment rate??</h2> At any time this may change so the suggestion is that you should check the website. Provisionally as of August 2002 you will recieve 50% of the sales you make over the internet, gross. <h2>How much are my chapters worth? </h2> Each chapter you place on the internet is priced BY YOU, with a minimum set by the RECALLPLUS team, which depends on the size of a chapter. Generally the Minimum Set by the RecallPlus team will be below the price you will wish to sell your work for. For Example: The Minimum Price for a 10000 question chapter without any Audiovisual Additions would be set about the $US 5 mark to cover costs of the network including user feedback. This is obviously cheaper than a textbook, as it should be in the absence of a need for a printing press and transport of materials. This is obviously also cheaper than a typical specialist would sell their time. It is expected that most editors of a 10000 question chapter , depending on the quality of their chapter, the specialty and size of their market, will sell their information for more than this minimum. HOWEVER WHEN AN EDITOR JUST STARTING EDITING A CHAPTER, IT MIGHT BE THAT THIS IS A REASONABLE THING. Some editors may, enter the market with an 'average product' e.g. something they have written for some other reason, and only charge a minimal price, and steadily upgrade the quality of your chapter over time. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PROCEDURE WE RECOMMEND. Again, it is up to the Editor/Author, at any level above the minimum set, to select their own price. Please keep in mind that the market for your information has alternative sources for the same information, some of which are free (though invariably less useful), and some of which may be your fellow editors. If you are one of many POTENTIAL EDITORS who has a set of notes on some topic, which, if it was in RECALLPLUS you would be happy to be an Editor/Author for it, please read on. <h2>I have a lot of material that I would like to become an Editor/Author for, but I am not sure I want to transfer it?? Is there some way of transferring it to RECALLPLUS easily??</h2> Many POTENTIAL Editors/Authors may have material they think would be useful to Subscribers in another form, and not specifically designed for RECALLPLUS. E.g. they have notes on computer. It may be possible, if you contact us, that we could arrange for them to be transferred to the RECALLPLUS medium, for you to be the Editor/Author of them. Please contact us if you are in this boat as we are very likely to be able to offer you an alternative to the tedious task of re-typing in the lot. <H2> What is to stop me from selling poor Quality Information to unsuspecting Subscribers ?</h2> The website provides reviews by Subscribers of your product. If you gain a reputation for selling overpriced information, you will sell less. Also RecallPlus, has to approve of new content on it's website, and may at any time withdraw your chapters if it is not felt to be in the best interests of the website or the Subscribers that you continue. <h2>I want to become an Editor/Author ...

They typically contain cards on a similar topic, similar to a chapter in a textbook. CARD Cards in RecallPlus contain the data. They are like the pages of information in a book, and similarly the cards make up chapters. The screen in RecallPlus shows one card at a time TEXTBOX Textboxes are the boxes on a card which contain the information you are learning. They are the key items on the screen. All other items on the screen (such as graphics) must be related to a textbox, and are meant to supplement the idea within a textbox to make it more memorable. A card can have as many textboxes as space allows CONNECT Connects are the arrows running between the textboxes. They indicate the relationships between the ideas contained in the textbox. For example: on a simple card with two textboxes containing a question and an answer, the arrow (connect) will run from the question to the answer. Connects inform the system of how to test you on your cards. In test mode, textboxes are revealed sequentially along the direction of the arrows. GRAPHICS Graphics are the images associated with textboxes. Ideally they act as a visual memory aid to help you to learn and recall the information or idea contained in that textbox. <dl> <dt>Graphics can be...</dt> <dd>Drawings - free hand drawings, lines, arrows, rectangles or circles.</dd> <dd>Labels - text outside a textbox, such as numbers to link ideas in order more visually than using the connects alone.</dd> <dd>Images - pictures or AV material such as video or audio.</dd> </dl> BACKGROUND The background of a card is a blank area where there is no textbox, connect or graphic item. <h2>Connections to other help pages</h2> Introduction see <a href="RecallPlusIntro.htm"> RecallPlus Introduction</a> Standard Learning/Research Mode in RecallPlus see <a href="RecallPlusLearning.htm"> RecallPlus Learning/Research Mode</a> Editing in RecallPlus see <a href="RecallPlusedit.htm"> RecallPlus Text Editing</a> Adding graphics see <a href="RecallPlusAddGraphics.htm"> RecallPlus Add Graphics</a> Testing yourself see <a href="RecallPlustesting.htm"> RecallPlus Testing</a> Searching RecallPlus see <a href="RecallPlussearch.htm"> RecallPlus Search</a> </C><NameHF>RecallPlustesting.htm</NameHF><C> <H1>RecallPlus Testing Mode</H1> <h3>You are currently in testing mode.</h3> This is the mode you can use to test yourself on the material you have entered into cards, or cards you have downloaded. <h2>RecallPlus will test you on all cards you have seen, in an order determined by: How well you have recalled the cards in the past How significantly you have weighted the individual cards</h2> <h3><a href="RecallPlusTerms.htm">Click Here for Explanation of Terms Used</a></h3> <h2>Starting Test Mode</h2> <dl> <dt>Enter test mode from the learning mode.

You are initially tested on each card at 10 minute intervals. This time changes with each testing, depending on which level of recall you indicated.</dd> <ul><li>If you indicated you did know a link, the "time to test" for that link will increase by a factor of 8.</li> <li>If you indicated you almost knew a link (orange), the "time to test" will remain unchanged.</li> <li>If you indicated you did NOT know a link (red), the "time to test" will reduce by a factor of 8. (There is a minimum of 10 minutes between testing on each card)</li></ul> <dd>2) Weighting. All cards are set with a default weighting of "40". If a card contains information that is particularly important you can set the weighting higher and you will be tested on these "more important" cards before other cards with the same "time to test".</dd></dl> <h2>Monitoring the Testing Status of a Chapter</h2> When you open a chapter, you will see a graph indicating the testing status of the cards in the opened chapters. From this graph, you can see: <ul><li>When the cards were last tested</li> <li>Which cards are due for testing (they are RED on the graph)</li> <li>Which cards are not due for testing (they are GREEN )</li> </ul> <h2>Test Mode Related Functions and Options</h2> <h3>Connects</h3> Connects contain the information on when to test the associated link (textbox) <dl> <dt>Rightclicking on a connect will offer you a list of options. Of that list, the useful functions are:</dt> <dd>Move which enables you to reposition the connect. You can reposition it from either end or the middle.</dd> <dd>EDIT which takes you to a screen showing the properties of the connect</dd> <ul><li>Appearance of the connect can be altered by changing the width or colour. It can be made invisible by clicking on the button at the top of the edit box.</li> <li>The weighting for that particular connect can be changed from here</li> <li>The time that connect is due to be tested is displayed, including the time interval.</li></ul> <dd>!DELETE! will delete the connect. All textboxes (except the first) must have a link going into them to save the card. This makes sense, as RecallPlus would have no way of testing you on a card without the connects.</dd></dl> <h3>Chapter Related Options</h3> You can reset the memory of RecallPlus for a chapter. All time intervals will revert to the default (10 minutes). Do this from the top function bar in Learning Mode. Select EDIT/CHAPTER/Delete all progress learning this chapter. <h3>Card Related Options</h3> To change the weight of a card select EDIT/CARD/Modify card's weight. To reset the memory of RecallPlus for a card, and revert time intervals to default, select EDIT/CARD/Set as if NEVER SEEN BEFORE <h3>To Change the Test Interval Multiplier and Divider</h3> By default, if you indicate a card is completely recalled the time interval before the card is tested again is multiplied by 8. So if the time interval WAS 10 minutes it will become 80 minutes. Similarly if you indicate a card NOT recalled (red) the time interval will be divided by 8, so an 80 minute testing interval will change to 10 minutes. You can alter this multiplier/divider number. To do this, select Options / Preferences / Timing and type in the new multiplier number. Then click "Apply" and "OK". <h3>To Change the Minimum Interval to Test</h3> By default this is set as 10 minutes. You will not be tested more frequenlty on any given card than every 10 minutes. To change this, select Options / Preferences / Timing and type in the new minimal interval to test. Then click "Apply" and "OK". Note that the default multiplier and timing are set in response to research on effective learning techniques. It would be beneficial to your learning to leave these defaults in place! <h2>Connections to other help pages</h2> Introduction see <a href="RecallPlusIntro.htm"> RecallPlus Introduction</a> Editing in RecallPlus see <a href="RecallPlusedit.htm"> RecallPlus Editing</a> Learning mode in RecallPlus see <a href="RecallPluslearning.htm"> RecallPlus Learning</a> Adding graphics see <a href="RecallPlusAddGraphics.htm"> RecallPlus Add Graphics</a> Searching RecallPlus see <a href="RecallPlussearch.htm"> RecallPlus Search</a> </C>
