PostsMagic Studio at BETT2008
Well, deep breaths all round. BETT was the usual whirlwind of activity, inspirational conversations and frankly, long days standing on your feet wishing you’d had more sleep!
This time last year, Magic Studio made its first appearance as a free set of content creation tools for teachers. In the 12 months that have passed, over 700 active users have subscribed!
This year, we introduced a new product family for Magic Studio. The free version is now called Magic Studio Start, the subscription service is Magic Studio Pro and we now have Magic Studio Gateway – a professional solution for content holders to channel their content direct to schools. More on those later!
Magic Studio Pro got a great reaction with presentations at BETT on the TAG Learning stand.
And we launched the first ‘branded’ implementation of Magic Studio with our content partners Dorling Kindersley. Eyewitness Interactive takes the content from over 50 of the Eyewitness books and channels it through Magic Studio. This means a new product for teachers and learners that allows them to create and share interactive resources based on the book content. We’re excited about its potential – as are the 200+ people who signed up at BETT. And the US launch is coming soon!
