Abstract
A computer program and method for the creation of tutorials having screen snapshots and associated text as well as other content. A testing method is provided where content created can be used to prompt the user and the user can respond by creating a snapshot of the computer screen as a response. The program may use text from a previously created page to prompt for an image that matches the text, with the option to create an answer page that can then be compared with the previously created page. A system provides for online creation, storage and retrieval of books containing pages, and for online testing, where pages are stored on a network computer, and a program-generated program allows the user to submit a screen snapshot in response to the prompt.
