By clicking on the buttons, the user can select which section to go to, see the scoreboard via the status button, leave the program, or even register as a new user. Each section links to a quiz, and progressions can be made directly by means of the Index. The program has been aimed at students in secondary schools, working in pairs or small groups to enable discussion and discourse to take place, as this also helps to increase the active process of learning. The content of Roman Technology 3 has been chosen for its relevance to the modern world, as well as its importance in the Roman context. The photographs were taken in locations around Europe, with many of them coming from Trier, in Germany.
All illustrations used are originals, based on primary sources.
Wherever possible, connections are made to the modern day, to our linguistic and cultural heritage drawn from ancient Rome. Sections are Aqueducts and Arches, Baths and Bath Houses, Building Styles, Machines and Weapons, Roads and Transport, Time Keeping and Units of Measurement. The key to moving around within the stack is the Main Index card, where you start off, and to which you can return from almost anywhere else. There are 8 quizzes, one at the end of each section and one final quiz which covers all sections of the program. In these, the user is asked to perform varying tasks, including recognition of written information.
