<* goto opening-2-R *>


<<opening-2-R>>----------------------------------------------

    The purpose of this demonstration study file is to show
you the main capabilities of STUDY HALL.

    After you have viewed this study file, if you want to write CAI
tutorials of your own, please see the text file named instr.doc
and/or study the study file named tutor.

<* goto intro-4-R*>


<<intro-3-Q>>--------------------------------------------------

Q:  This is a quiz screen.  Quiz screens ask questions and
compare the answers given by the student to the answers provided
by the author of the study file.  Quiz screens can also be
used to create menus, so the student can select what he wants to
do next.  Like this . . .

    What do you want to do next (enter your selection by number)?

    1. Continue on
    2. Start over again at the beginning of this DEMO study file

<<intro-4-R>>-------------------------------------------------
    All CAI material in STUDY HALL is organized into screens of
information.

    STUDY HALL has three kinds of screens: read screens, drill
screens, and quiz screens.

    A read screen presents text, or any combination of characters you
can get on your word processor and store in ASCII format.

    This screen you are looking at is a read screen.

<* goto intro-4a-R *>


<< intro-4a-R >>-----------------------------------------------

    A quiz screen asks questions, and compares the answers given
by the student to those provided by the author.

    A drill screen contains the raw material for extensive rote
memory drills, using matched pairs of information as the source.
<* goto intro-3-Q *>


<<intro-5-R>>-----------------------------------------------------
    Thank you for deciding to continue.

    Next is a drill screen.

    In a drill screen, STUDY HALL converts matched pairs of
information provided by the author into extensive drills for the
student.

    This next drill screen relates the first five U. S. presidents
to their terms of office.

    You will be given the name of the president, and you will need to
provide the years of his term of office, like 1801-1809.
<* goto intro-5A-R *>

<< intro-5A-R >> *********************************************
       This is the information contained in the drill . . .

<< recap-R>>---------------------------------------------------------

    So far, we have seen examples of a read screen, a drill screen,
and a quiz screen used as a menu.

    Next comes a group of quiz screens linked to provide a quiz.

    Quiz screens can handle questions of these types:

             Multiple choice
             True or False
             Fill in the blanks
             Ordered lists

<< finish-R >> -------------------------------------------

    This is the end of the demonstration study file for STUDY HALL.

    For  instructions on writing your own tutorials, please read
the text file named instr.doc and/or run the study file named
tutor.  Both of these should be on your STUDY HALL release disk.

    You will now be returning to the main menu of STUDY HALL . . .

<* quit *>


<<final-1-R >>--------------------------------------------
    STUDY HALL provides a simple yet powerful system for branching
from screen to screen or to other destinations.

    Branching may be unconditional or conditional.

    If unconditional, the branching occurs regardless of any scores
achieved or answers given.

    If conditional, the destination of the branching is determined by
the cumulative score of the most recent drill or quiz or by the last
answer given by the student to a question.


<* goto final-2-R *>


<< final-2-R >>---------------------------------------------
    STUDY HALL can also issue commands directly to your computer,
causing it to run programs or take other actions.

    For example, when you continue, STUDY HALL will command your
computer to show you a directory of your current drive . . .

<* doscommand dir *>

<<final-3-R >>*****************************************
     With STUDY HALL, you can work with multiple study files, jumping
into and out of them at will.

     You can even jump into a study file at a particular screen.

     For example, after you leave this screen, you will jump into
screen number 3 of a study file named demo2.  Then you will jump
back into this study file, at a screen named FINAL-4-R.

<*load demo2/3 *>

<< final-4-R >>*************************************
     Now you are back in the original DEMO study file!

     You can also jump into and out of different CAI systems, such as
PC-CAI.  (Write P.O. Box 1169, Cedar Hill, Texas 75104 for PC-CAI info.)

     This allows you to take advantage of the special strengths
of different CAI systems, without being limited to only one.

     For example, if you are in the STUDY HALL system, you might want
to jump into PC-CAI for some graphics or music or animation, then
return to STUDY HALL.  Or, if you are in PC-CAI, you might want to jump
into STUDY HALL for some drill screens or for some precise conditional
branching, then return to PC-CAI.

     The exact commands for invocations between STUDY HALL and PC-CAI
are explained in invoke.doc, on the STUDY HALL release disk.
