The EdAlive range of educational titles was originally published on CD. Many of these titles have now been significantly upgraded and migrated to online websites. These new websites are significantly superior to the old CD-based editions.
Although the old CD editions were good products they were subject to the limitations of CD technology. Now, using Internet delivery, we have been able to migrate the strengths of the original products to the new online versions and then through multiple cycles of development, classroom-based testing and modification, to greatly enhance their capacities and effectiveness. The opportunities afforded by the new technology and ongoing development have transformed these products from good to truly great.
