The Horace Trail

The original Horace Trail was first written in 2002, when an analysis of the whole corpus of Horace’s writings was created, before journeys were undertaken to Italy, Greece and Turkey. The intention was to visit, photograph and include every place mentioned in the poems.

This new version 3 of the Horace Trail includes customisable quizzes using our Quizbuilder system, which allows users to test themselves on any of the major sections of the program, building randomised quizzes based on a database of questions. Level 1 quizzes allow for multiple choice selections to be made, while Level 2 quizzes require answers to be typed in full.

Scores can be logged and consulted and password protection is built-in for score handling features. Administrators can select as score saving options "Don't save anything when student quits and delete all user data" or "Save scores to list of 50 previous attempts when user quits".
