Update Nov 4th

I have studied the French Complete Course for further insight into French CD-ROM learning/development market.

This product has sold over 2 million copies and offers 40 lessons, detailed explanations, quizzes, reviews and additional vocabulary. < http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/item.asp?Item=978140002003&Catalog=Books&Lang=en&Section=books&zxac=1 >

However, it too turned out to be a disappointment: It came with three CD-ROM's which each were a list of .wav files, lacking any interface. The .wav files play in the default music player (iTunes in my case). The quizzes, reviews, lessons, vocabulary where all in the accompaning textbook.

I will now turn to emulate e-presentations/e-learning products. I have access to Skillsoft < www.skillsoft.com >, a leading e-learning provider, through my work outside of school. Skillsoft has reported earnings of $50.6 million for their second quarter this year.

I will hold Skillsoft to be a leader in e-learning, and will critique their strenghts and weakness, and will use the findings as a foundation for this project, while keeping in mind that Skillsoft is web based, and this project is CD-ROM based...
