Professional critics and everyday users alike have written some wonderful things about our work.

"I really enjoyed the 'Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided' DVD. I found the content informative and interesting. The audio description was very good, clear, and non-obtrusive to the original content. I especially enjoyed the ability to navigate the menus without sighted assistance or having to memorize how many times to press a button to get to the desired content. I think the product as a whole was very well done, and look forward to seeing others such as this available in similar formats."
-- Rachel Bader, Assistive Technology Specialist, Center for Independence, Technology, and Education (CITE)

"I thought the effort put in to make the 'Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided' DVD accessible should be lauded. THANK YOU! It is a special moment when students who are blind get to use the same materials and receive robust information independently!!!"
-- Jim Allan, Webmaster, Texas School for the Blind

"Excellent: The American Experience is what Web services ought to be more about. Finally after more than twenty years (including a solid Ivy League liberal arts education), I encounter an explanation of the Three Mile Island incident that is clear, concise, and succinct, leaving me with full comprehension and a renewed intellectual interest in the science and politics of nuclear power. I will be recommending and revisiting other areas of your Web site often."
-- J. Barnes

"I am a fan of The American Experience Web site and its careful, balanced, intuitive, and enjoyable annexes to the series."
-- David Bain, Historian, Middlebury College

"Thank you, thank you ... for the virtual tour of the making of the Antiques Roadshow. I was unable to get tickets for the Indianapolis show, and I really enjoyed this online tour you provided. I went through it twice and am saving it to show my daughter."
-- C. A. Detwiler

"Thank you for providing such entertaining and interesting content [on the Antiques Roadshow Web site] for hobbyists and collectors of all ages!"
-- Robert Olson

"Between the Lions has got to be one of the single most brilliant sites I've ever found. The games vary in difficulty, are clever and fun, and from a programmer's view are complete and impressive. This site demonstrates what is possible towards the promotion of education."
-- Joseph

"This early literacy site, Between the Lions, for children ages 4-7, is a tie-in for the award-winning television program. Appealing characters, terrific songs, and fun games combine to offer great on-line experiences."
-- American Library Association

"[Commanding Heights is] a milestone in the development of broadband content ... impeccable content, navigation and design."
-- British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award Citation

"Your Web site on Evolution is excellent! I have a B.A. in anthropology, and wish I had access to something like this in my college days."
-- Alyson Naimoli

"I applaud your Evolution series and the Web materials, teaching resources, and teaching guides that you have as support material. I am a professional biologist, a parent, and a Roman Catholic. You have done a fine and balanced presentation of these philosophically divisive issues. You have covered technically complex subject matter with graphic material, clear explanations, first person narrations (from leading scientists), and great skill. My wife has a Ph.D. in molecular biology and I have an M.S. in Zoology. We both learned things, too."
-- Dennis A. Schenborn

"A Web site as sumptuous as any production in its 30-year history. Masterpiece Theatre offers a site that is rich in information about authors and literature, film and production and the past, present and future of the popular series."
-- Converge Magazine

"What a reference tool! I only wish I had the Masterpiece Theatre Web site available when I read this literary work of art during college. The site helps break down Tolstoy's complex story. Great features."
-- A Web Surfer

"I thought the FFFBI game was AWESOME! I liked finding out the clues. I really felt like I was an agent."
-- Chase, age 10

"[The FFFBI site is an] extremely good site for kids like me. Just continue the superb work! Hats off to you."
-- Aswin, age 9

"I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your MYSTERY! site. It's a masterpiece of Web design. Not only did you capture my favorite show on PBS, but you did it in such an eye-catching way! It remains one of my favorite sites on the Internet."
-- A Web Surfer

"I enjoyed the Mystery! 'adventure' very much. It is a wonderful site, one I will recommend to my fellow Cyber sleuths -- wholeheartedly."
-- A Web Surfer

"[NOVA's Galileo's Battle for the Heavens] has a remarkably well designed and engaging Web site that fills in background about Galileo, and more strikingly presents interactive versions of his experiments."
-- New York Times

"Today's technologically sophisticated student deserves more mature software, integrated into the curriculum, of which Nuevos Destinos is an excellent example. It is well-founded on the principles which underlie content-based instruction: language acquisition is enhanced when the student concentrates on using the language in meaningful ways. The print and video materials promise to produce a tightly woven fabric to wrap the student in an environment conducive to learning. Nuevos Destinos is highly recommended."
-- Peter Lafford, Arizona State University, CALICO Software Review

"[Teacher's Domain is] informative and up-to-date. Students like the fact that the information is correct."
-- A Teacher

"Take a look at the This Old House Web site. If you enjoy the TV show, you'll certainly enjoy taking a virtual tour of the newest project!"
-- The Orlando Sentinel

"I just wanted to say 'Thanks' for the many hours of entertainment you've provided me. I watch your show every day it comes on, and sometimes I catch it more than once in a day. What can I say? ZOOM is VERY well organized and put together. The ideas and submissions are great, and the Web site is EXCELLENT! Thanks again!"
-- Alexa B., age 12
