Standard Deviants CD-ROM Series
© 2001 Cerebellum Corporation
These two-CD sets are subject-based and offer video lessons in a variety of subjects like basic math, algebra, French and English grammar. Like a cross between Sesame Street and MTV, the live-actor videos are entertaining and do a nice job of explaining concepts, but of course, passive. The programs do have multiple choice quizzes to check comprehension, but there is no record keeping. The second CD in each package is a multiple subject quiz game, fairly standard material. Better suited to classroom than home use, these programs will nicely supplement subject units, but are lacking in features we've come to expect in CD-ROM products. (Notes: The CDs are sold in many different configurations and packages, as are other associated materials, so visit the web site for details— www.standarddeviants.com . There is also a similarly designed DVD-ROM series. )
