![]() The graph is based on percentages of correct answers versus problems attempted. The graph also states the date of the first and most recent use of each activity. The new Skill Graph is an optional addition to progress reports that displays a chart showing how the student's scores have changed since first attempting an activity. Skill Graphs: We've had requests for a scorekeeping device that would show changes over time.The program will automatically open the remotely stored activity and run it on the student's computer - there is no need to download the file and locate it all that is required is an internet connection on the computer. ![]() Once the special activities are on Ars Nova's servers, students using WebStudents anywhere in the world can open those customized activities within Practica Musica simply by clicking the new "Choose a class activity at WebStudents" command. WebStudent activities: Instructors who have made customized versions of Practica Musica activities can now upload them to their class's WebStudents account.This is also useful for your compositions made with the writing tools - an exported MIDI file can be played by any computer and can even be converted to an MP3 using software such as Apple's QuickTime Pro and iTunes. MIDI Export: You can now export any music example or problem as a MIDI file.If you have a slow internet connection and want to use the digital book you may prefer to order the CD rather than the downloadable edition. Note: the Exploring Theory textbook with movies is a large file (40MB) we've made it a separate and optional item in the program installer for that reason. Most examples are brief but several are much more extensive than the examples in the printed book - for example, the illustration for Sonata form is the entire first movement of Mozart's 29th Symphony, in which you watch the 1st violin part and read scrolling comments on the form as the music plays. What's most impressive about the digital textbook? The music examples are "live!" Each music example in the digital book is now a QuickTime movie - click and you'll see it come to life and play (Windows users can download Apple's QuickTime free). Pages are laid out just as they are in the print version of the book (available separately). Exploring Theory onscreen : A new digital edition of our coordinated textbook Exploring Theory with Practica Musica is now included onscreen in its own menu.This enlarges everything in the music window, including text. Big Notes option: At any time you can toggle between normal and double-sized music by clicking the music size tool at the upper left of the music window.
