Unify consultancy: materials left on machine 28


Below is an index to files, CD-ROMs and programmes I installed and/or left on this computer in the Unify laboratory.

In the folders named after curriculum subjects you will find examples of using IT in those subjects.

In the folders named after applications you will find manuals and examples of using those applications. Some of these examples are science-based.

(Please note that this version of the list cannot link to Unify-owned software that I installed on their machines (and which previously had not been used) - i.e. the CR-ROMs and the datalogging programme 'Investigate'. Some other materials - linked to the pre-course web-pages and the first presentation - were also given to the Unify team. Links to them can be found from the relevant presentation/web-page)
