SCRIPT is now available from our own domain/ web address of www.script-tutor.co.uk rather than using our old spider.science.strath.ac.uk/script address.  You should be automatically forwarded to the new address, and everything else will work the same as before. 

Group functions are now part of SCRIPT allowing tutors to create and manage groups of students within year-groups. SCRIPT tests can then be assigned to one or more groups, giving tutors more control over who and when tests can be accessed to students in a particular cohort.

SCRIPT now supports scenarios - instead of using randomly generated names and addresses for practices and practitioners, staff are able to create named individuals with associated practices/ businesses. Each script generated in a test will then select an appropriate person and practice from the scenarios on the system, allowing institutions to match SCRIPT with any existing materials containing these scenarios.

For example, staff can create Dr. John Smith, who works at the Glendevon Practice, and upload a 'signature' image for Dr. Smith. GP prescriptions will then appear signed by Dr. Smith and the practice address will appear on all his scripts.

The scenarios tool is being trialled by Manchester. Staff from other institutions wanting to set up scenarios for their students should contact us script-tutor@strath.ac.uk .
