Network Software
Network software modulated into Metodix is divided into three groups according to their use: method tools, group work tools, and environment tools.
Method tools
Method tools are computer programmes designed for internet environment, and their purpose is to enable the use of method tools in the net. In general, method programme consists of two elements - the application programme for an end-user and the manager programme which is used in the creation of the end-user application. The links on this page lead to manager applications, which, however, require a login and a password. In order to get the user rights for these applications, please contact the Metodix Manager at metodix@metodix.com. Some examples:
Delfix - expertise method for Delphi (programme has been developed in co-operation with The Centre of Futures Studies of Turku School of Business and Economics, url: http://nexusdelfix.internetix.fi)

Group work tools
Group work tools are interactive network programmes, which enable planning, conducting and monitoring learning and education online. Links on this page lead to applications, which require also the application user rights in addition to the one you have in Metodix.
