The Eco Disc CD-ROM was the result of a project between Apple, ESM and the BBC’s Interactive Television Unit. The disc is an adaptation of the original AIV laserdisc produced for the Apple Macintosh machines (and supports both monochrome and colour Macs). The big innovation was support for multiple languages.
Except from the user manual:
The Ecodisc is a simulation of a real nature reserve in which students are free to explore and experiment for themselves. The disc is aimed mainly at students aged 14-18 who are studying ecology. However, this multi-lingual version (in nine languages) may have applications across the curriculum. The simulation provides an ideal opportunity for problem solving and encourages students to explore in their own way and at their own pace.
Although individual or whole class use can be rewarding, it is suggested that the best results will come from use in small groups. The Ecodisc is at its best when it is used in conjunction with traditional field trips.
