Teaching-Engine
The student is assigned lessons by the Tutor. This provides supervision over the work done by the student and the Tutor can view the results of tests and make further lesson assignments according to the progress.

The Teaching-Engine program is basically divided into two sections, the Tutor and Student. The Tutor controls the lessons which are assigned to the student. Also the Tutor can create new lessons or import them from the internet, a CD or flash drive. Results from tests can be seen by both the Tutor and the student. Also there are many utilties available for the Tutor to modify and organize the lessons and the operation of the program.
