VTech University (at http://vtechkids.com/university) is designed to provide structured learning content for the MobiGo 2, the InnoTab, InnoTab 2 and InnoTab 2S, for children aged 3-9 years (preschool - 4th grade). "Graduates" of the program will get a "diploma" that will be entered into a drawing for a $25,000 college bond. To increase credibility of the contest, VTech has hired MIT Professor Eric Klopfer to serve as a spokesman for the program. The price of entry is the hardware, in this case an InnoTab, InnoTab 2, InnoTab 2S or MobiGo 2, as well as access to the Internet. All but the InnoTab 2S require being tethered to a computer running Learning Lodge Navigator, a separate program which must be downloaded and installed on a Windows or Mac computer. See www.VTechKids.com/download. The devices will track completed courses so kids can pick up where they left off in the curriculum each day and parents can check in on their progress. VTech University also offers an Honors Curriculum for $6.99. Children enrolled in VTech University will have until May 31, 2013 to complete the curriculum to be entered to win the $25,000 college bond. Each child registered can enter the contest once. Parents can visit the VTech University website for contest details.
