Using the CD in the classroom or workshop
The CD can be used beneficially in a number of contexts and environments. Initially intended to assist an individual student working alone in class or at home, the CD has evolved in the hands of teachers to become an essential resource for group and class-teaching. Its design means that it can easily be projected onto any convenient wall or screen and its visual appeal – especially its imaginative use of PDF technology - means that any part of a graphic can be enlarged so that it continues to engage and retains an audience’s attention.

Some teachers have commended the CD as an ideal way for students to ‘catch up’ when they have missed lessons or school. Others tell us that its value lies in its flexibility and in the way it empowers their students to work at their own pace and set their own goals.

Whichever way you choose to use it, we are confident it will help you and boost results. For details of our discounted specials on multiple copies, please click here.
