[LM_NET] AR info

[Chris Hales <Hales.Chris@CHANDLER.K12.AZ.US>]

Good afternoon,

I thought I would pass this info along to those who are interested.

I had a long talk with Renaissance Learning AR's parent company about quizzes and 
the lack of speed with some of the bestsellers. They told me:

-New quizzes are loaded onto the website Wednesday night--look for them Thursday.
-They make 800 a month and do fast track the bestsellers. However, they do not do 
quizzes off of advanced copies because they want to be sure the quiz fits the 
edition the consumer (students) get.
-One of the best ways to ensure the book will have a quiz made is to request it. 
This is done by going to www.renlearn.com and typing in the book you want and when 
no match comes up choose the suggestion link and fill out the online form. You can 
keep all of your info and just change the title and author if you want to suggest 
multiple titles.  The more customers who request, the better chance the AR quiz 
will be made and made faster. I would suggest that like the Kindle, if we want a 
book put into Kindle format or a AR quiz made, we submit a request to the company.

I hope this helps.
