1. SIMPLIFY AUTHENTICATION WITH LDAP

We're pleased to announce the introduction of our new LDAP
(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication
product, QM Perception for LDAP. This new tool means you
can verify assessment participants against your centralised
directory. You no longer have to synchronise user name
and password systems, nor do you need to enter names into
the Perception security database.

2.      TECH TIP: PRINTING GRAPHS WITH ITEM STATISTICS 

By default, Internet Explorer is set to not print background
images and colors.  This means the graphs in the Item Statistic
Report will not show up when you print.  You can change this by
selecting Tools - Internet Options.  Select the Advanced tab.
Scroll down to the Printing section and select "Print background
colours and images".  Click OK and you should now be able to
print your graphs.

of the web to produce interactive, multimedia tests and assessments. 
You will discover just how easy it is to create questions and deliver 
tests online without any special training. You can find out how these
assessment tools enable you to examine students and tailor courses
