I can think of features which could be added to the Director produced interactive CD-ROM (but then who couldn't)? What impresses me is this: 1. This affordable product takes a true multiple media approach to teaching and learning which so many of us have advocated for a long time. Incidentally, does anyone know who coined the expression Multiple Media as opposed to Multimedia? 2. Like an increasing number of products, it takes a hybrid approach, dual platform CD-ROM with web links. 3. There is a Student Audio CD. 4. I really like the authentic French in it. I'm sorry if this sounds like a commercial but we need more products like this and you asked. The advantage of Mosaicos, if I remember correctly (I think this is a Pearson product) is that you have a related Web-CT course available too with plenty of QT videos!
