 Endless education is available with new class of educational software.
The screensaver from Cool Educational Software no longer does what its name says, namely saves screens. It educates! And it does so in a fun, unobtrusive way, which is appealing to everyone.
Cool Educational Software released its first product, Cool Educational Screensaver, a new way educational software that downloads educational videos from its Internet server and plays them when the computer enters the idle mode.
All the lessons are grouped to courses by subjects. As an example, the "History::Ancient Egypt" course contains lessons "Pharaohs", "Mythology of Ancient Egypt" and so on.
Every day the screensaver downloads and shows a new lesson of the specified course. After all lessons from the current course are shown, you choose another one and continue.
"We see screensavers as a chance not only to individualize your Windows but also satisfy the passion of many users for self-education," says CEO of Cool Educational Software Alexander Mozgovoy. "The latest research shows that screensavers work for about 40% of the time the computer is on.
Displaying educational information via a screensaver throughout the day is 4-5 times more effective than traditional learning methods at ensuring people remember. It's what we call incidental learning and our screensaver is all about it. It shows some principle scientific and cultural information in history, geography, biology, astronomy in a casual way. If the person is constantly exposed to this information, there is no other chance but to absorb it!"
Cool Educational Screensaver has a special mode - Content Wizard, which opens upon installation and lets user set up the delivery and playback of educational videos. As an example, you can change channel preferences, and select a desirable background audio. Then you refresh the index of lessons by connecting the Cool Educational Software's website and pick your first course to learn. Cool Educational Software updates the database of lessons regularly - a pack o new lessons is available every day!
A sample lesson The Solar System/Mars (Astronomy channel) was provided for this review. It shows basic planetary data, such as distance from the Sun, dimensions and information about satellites, atmosphere, temperature and internal composition. There are also some interesting cultural facts about Mars, pictures and photos of the planet.
If you want something that's very different and compelling running on your computer when you're not working, then go visit www.cooleducationalsoftware.com for the educational experience that will never end. The free trial version of the screensaver offers only the first courses of each channel just to give you an idea of this software. Subscribed users gain an unlimited access to all courses. There are 1, 3, 6 and 12-month subscription plans available.
