Field notes
The page shows a sample Grade 10 accounting question, including an explanation of why changing cash into a bicycle leaves total assets unchanged. It says a placement test adjusts difficulty as learners answer, and that Ethel identifies courses where it lacks material. A download, installation information, and version history are linked; the site describes the product as a closed beta.
