No question - main advice: do only web-based programs. Keep it simple & browser based. Currently we're just deploying AutoSkill's Reading (web). Some admin training is helpful, plus teacher training, obviously. We had some troubles with their Math (client-server) - need to continually refresh the deleted settings on the desktops. Considering Netbooting to make that happen. Rosetta Stone works okay client server, but needs a fair amount of bandwith, the admin is java-based, and the server is sql based. Took lots of labor to get going, whereas the AutoSkill Reading deployment was very fast - point your browser to the link & go. We tried A+Learning Systems, and never did have much luck with it. I hear we may recieve a grant of PLATO as well. Requested in-house web-based.
