Elgebar Studios Releases Pencils Down 4.0

Today, Elgebar Studios released version 4.0 of its educational test-creation software Pencils Down. Pencils Down 4.0 is a redefinition of test software on Mac OS X. Pencils Down has always aided teachers in easily creating standard paper tests without worrying about formatting issues, but version 4.0 includes powerful customization through the use of themes. Pencils Down also allows one-click posting of tests to the Web that doesn't require a degree in Computer Science.

Elgebar Studios is offering a service where teachers can post their test to the Elgebar Studios quiz server with no configuration whatsoever. Students can then take the test online using any modern Web browser on any platform -- be it OS X, Windows, or Linux. Pencils Down 4.0 also adds the ability to insert images (even PDFs created using LaTeX or MathType) and matching questions, where students match one object in a list to a matching object in another list.

Pencils Down 4.0 can be downloaded at http://www.elgebar.com/pencilsdown.html and can be purchased for $32 until September 18th, when it will begin selling at the regular price of $40. Institutions looking to purchase site licenses of Pencils Down are asked to contact sales@elgebar.com for information.
