Students submit their work as email attachments or word-processor documents, and teachers need to be able to mark and return these documents as quickly and easily as they can mark work submitted on paper. Markin is the latest in marking and annotation software for on-line and electronic teaching environments. It can import text material from the clipboard, or from an RTF or text file, and provides all the tools you need to mark and annotate this text. When you have finished, you can export the marked text as an RTF file for loading into a word-processor, or as a web page so that your students can view the marked text in a web browser - and you can email this file directly back to the student, all without leaving the Markin program.

RoboBraille is an email service which can convert digital text documents into either Braille or audio files. It is quick and easy to use RoboBraille. You simply send an email with an attached text document to the specific RoboBraille e-mail account that suits your needs. Or you can upload your file by using our web interface. Both ways you will receive the document back from RoboBraille in the specified format - an audio file, for example. You do not need to install expensive and complicated software on your computer to use RoboBraille. It is free for non-commercial users to use RoboBraille. Many RoboBraille users are visually impaired or dyslexic individuals who use the email service for work, study or past-time activities. RoboBraille has also been taken on by teachers, commuters and other users who can benefit from accessing digital text documents in alternative formats.

"MathPad is a general purpose graphing scientific calculator for the Macintosh. It uses text worksheets rather than simulating buttons on a hand held calculator. This live scratchpad interface allows you to see and edit your entire calculation. Formulas can be entered directly and different values can be plugged in for easy "what if" calculating."

Mathcad offers you an integrated environment for performing and communicating your math-related work. It provides hundreds of operators and built-in functions for solving technical problems. Use Mathcad to perform numeric calculations or to find symbolic solutions. It automatically tracks and converts units and operates on scalars, vectors, and matrices. Integrated images, text, graphs, and mathematics means your whole solution is contained and documented in one place. Formatting options and style sheets let you prepare documents to exact specifications. Distribute your work in Mathcad, the Mathcad Client, print, or as MathML for the web.
