Matthew FLINDERS & the Coastal LANDFORMS of SE Australia?
= 12 REASONS =

Please note that the CD operates as a Web Site, with the same format as the Internet Version.
However, it adds to the content of the Internet Version, with additional materials in several areas.

The benefits of the CD-ROM Version include:

1. Program runs as a Web (i.e. on M/S Internet Explorer Browser), as does the Internet version

2. Faster operation than on the Internet, with the elimination of Internet download times

3. Elimination of ongoing Internet download costs

4. More field study sites (some field study sites are blocked on the Internet version as they have larger file sizes and photo enlargement options - thus slow to load from Internet Version - all features are available on CD Version)

5. Access to the photo section of 'Coastal Landform Definitions'

6. Access to two versions of the program; one with external links removed (for introductory use by students as they become familiar with the 'core' program), and one with all external links operational (for full on-line experience once students are familiar with the 'core' program)

7. Accompanying the CD-ROM Version are printed notes suggesting ways that the program can fit into the Geog / Hist / SOSE curriculum (as part of major and minor learning units)

8. Access to purchase of future CD-Rom Teachers' Version (with suggested responses to student activities) later in 2003 (CD purchasers will be advised of details when available)

9. Discount offered on annual program updates

10. By purchasing the CD-ROM you are entitled to freely use the materials (text, photos, sites) of the program for non-commercial, educational purposes

11. By purchasing the CD-ROM you are supporting the production of Australian digital content and educational software

12. More varied sound effects and varied background music representing aspects of each site, and adding atmosphere to the program, have been incorporated into the CD Version.
