Simple Simulation Software
Crocodile Clips working in partnership with London Grid
9 April 2003
Edinburgh software company, Crocodile Clips, is working in partnership with the London Grid for Learning to make its interactive software available to all London secondary schools.
Pupils and teachers at the 410 LGfL secondary schools will be able to access Absorb Mathematics for GCSE, Absorb Chemistry for GCSE and Absorb Physics for GCSE at any time via the LGfL portal.
The Absorb courseware titles are fully interactive on screen courses, which combine simulations, animations, videos, investigations and questions in a narrative framework. These can be used on a whiteboard for whole class teaching, in a computer lab or for revision and individual study.
The 'Crocodile' simulators for Chemistry, Physics, Technology and Mathematics allow pupils to freely and safely experiment in a virtual laboratory, visualising abstract concepts and investigating theories and principles.
The London Grid for Learning is a collaboration between 33 Local Education Authorities to provide a purpose made broadband network, linking schools, libraries and local authorities across the capital.
Marketing Director, Dominic Sharratt says "The London Grid for Learning believes in the ability to access materials at any time, whether at home or at school. 'Crocodile' simulators and Absorb courseware are ideal for this, offering a safe and informative laboratory where students can investigate science and maths freely."
