We have expanded our film and video work to include interactive media such as DVDs and CD-ROMs with multiple menu options. As technology continues to evolve, so do our projects.


This DVD is designed to help teachers implement interactive teaching techniques in their classrooms

Interactive Teaching:
Promoting Better Learning Using Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time Teaching
Because of the success of the video
From Questions to Concepts, Spectrum Media developed a DVD to take viewers deeper into the interactive teaching techniques of Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time Teaching. Guided by Professor Eric Mazur, the different sections of the DVD help teachers better understand these teaching methods, suggest resources to help implement the techniques, and invite viewers to attend a lecture in real time. The DVD was produced for the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning at Harvard University and is being distributed by Addison Wesley-Benjamin Cummings.

Spectrum Media produced the Playtime is Science CD-ROM for Educational Equity Concepts

Playtime is Science
Spectrum Media developed an interactive CD-ROM to accompany and enhance the printed curriculum guide of Playtime is Science, an award-winning physical science curriculum for young children. The CD-ROM was designed to introduce elementary teachers to Playtime is Science through video testimonials, slideshows and graphic presentations of background information that explain every aspect of the curriculum.

The challenge in creating the CD-ROM was to make it accessible to visually and hearing impaired teachers. In order to effectively meet this key requirement, the CD-ROM had to be designed within the narrow confines of HTML. It can be used without a mouse using screen reader programs, and all the audio is captioned. This project was produced for Educational Equity Concepts.
