Yes, images and videos can be freely inserted either as external links (youtube, vimeo, cdn etc.) or uploaded in the internal space available within the limits of the type of plan chosen (see plans and pricing).

Yes. Expressions, symbols and mathematical equations are inserted, in any question, writing them according to the most common encodings: AsciiMath (super simple) or TeX (for more sophisticated expressions).

Absolutely yes, without making copies. Any question or test can be translated into various languages by preparing the texts (and possibly the answers) in the desired languages.

Yes, each user creates their own system of classification codes for the contents of the various disciplines/activities, with related descriptions. Classification codes are then attributed to questions and tests. E.g. a code could be 'LI.EN.GR.V' intended as 'Languages / English / Grammar / Verbs'.

To keep under control the network resource consumption, to avoid abuses and to correctly establish the cost of different contract types (plans),Teachgroups implements the concept of 'credits', sometimes called 'user sessions,' intended as unit of resource consumption. The attribution and consumption of credits works as follows:

  • Each plan (contract type) which gives the possibility to create tests/courses and distribute them to students/trainees receives a fixed quantity of credits per month, e.g. if a private teacher sign a plan for 1 year with 12000 credits, he will receive a maximum of 1000 credits can be consumed in each contract month. It is important to remember that credits are always considered per month.
  • The monthly credit quantities of the plans are established to satisfy the normal standard consumption, but in case of need of additional credits a user can at any moment buy it via a 'resource-only' order. The credits will be calculated, priced and added to cover the period of time from the date of the order to the end of the plan.
  • The credit consumption is calculated as follows:
