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:
