Anatomiser III

Anatomiser is a graphic authoring tool intended to help in those areas of instruction where a given area, region or portion of a graphic construct is to be associated with a name. Originally it was designed to teach anatomic names associated with parts of the body. The same program can, however, be used to teach the parts of a piece of machinery, areas on a map, or elementary reading and vocabulary skills. Anatomiser v.3.0 has several enhancements over previous versions. Anatomiser is available in two forms: the full "authoring" program and the "demo" or student form of the program. Previously each copy of the program contained a single lesson which had to be prepared and modified by the instructor. Now lessons are prepared and stored in external files as well as in the parent program. Thus a student may use the lesson that is resident in her/his copy of anatomiser, or may load and use a choice from the various external files. In addition, each of the student mode features have an "Exit" button which permit the user to leave the test or lesson immediately. The "DEMO" version of Anatomiser V.3.0 works with either MFS (old ROM's) or the HFS (new ROM's). Please see note below regarding the compatibility of the authoring version. In order to change the lesson, select "Load Lesson" from the File menu. A standard file selection box will then appear listing the lessons available. Select the lesson and click "Open". Loading a complex lesson may take as long as 40 seconds. The edit menu items are provided primarily for the support of desk accessories; in particular, the use of the scrapbook when creating lessons. These commands do not interact with the operation of Anatomiser directly. The options of the "Student" menu operate as with previous versions. In the "Lesson" mode, the program inverts the various regions and tells the names. The user clicks "OK" to dismiss each name. In the "Test" mode, the user is prompted to click on different regions and the program lets you know whether you are right. As mentioned abovr, lessons and tests now have an "Exit" button. The operations provided in the "Teacher" menu require a password. The password for your copy is_________________________________. Two types of information are stored as resources of the program - a picture and the regions to be identified along with their names. In order to change the picture, first copy the desired picture from the scrapbook to the clipboard. This is best done by opening the scrapbook from the desk accessory ("Apple") menu. The size of the picture used by Anatomiser is one "screenful" from Macpaint ™. Such a picture may be obtained by double-clicking the marquee and copying the image to the scrapbook. Any picture that is on the clipboard can be used by Anatomiser, but might have some scaling distortion. When the desired picture is in view, perform "Copy" from the Edit menu. Then select "Change Picture" from th…
