"We deliver new content every week to schools. It means we can react to events or to teachers' requests." - David Summers, Editor, Espresso for Schools
Former teacher George Cole examines the implications of developments such as Espresso for Schools in his introduction to 'Anyone, anyplace, anytime', a major survey of the big guns in educational computing published in the Times Educational Supplement:
"A GROWING number of schools are exchanging their floppy disks and CD-Roms for content that is delivered from the Internet or private intranets linked to the schools' computer networks. It is all part of a trend towards what has been called e-learning, digital learning or anytime, anywhere learning, where educational materials are delivered online and can be accessed from almost anywhere."
Espresso for Schools Editor David Summers, quoted in the article, says online delivery offers many benefits: "It's not like a CD-Rom, which is an inert piece of software. Online-delivered content is organic because you can easily change it or upgrade it. We deliver new content every week to schools. It means we can react to events or to teachers' requests."
