Footnotes
[1] HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is a textual way of formatting (marking up) a document for posting on the Internet. Most pages on the Web are HTML files.
[2] Part of the appeal of this feedback system is its low cost. Using old computers destined for the garbage is an excellent way to reclaim and use old technology.
[3] A text editing program such as Notepad (as opposed to something like Microsoft Word) must be used here because the text-to-HTML conversion program that makes the quiz interenet ready can only understand text files. Microsoft Word creates ".doc" files which are in a format only understandable to Microsoft Word (jibberish as far as humans go). Notepad comes standard with Windows. You can run it by clicking on the "Start—>Run. . . " menu, and typing "notepad," then pressing [Enter].
