With over 32 million downloads of the LATEST VERSION - at the last count 
- 
QuickTime is recognised as the standard for delivering cross platform 
multimedia
content to computer desktops.  Over 17,000 software products are built 
into QuickTime,
and as more content is going increasingly on-line, QuickTime is the 
preferred
option for 60% of those websites using video.

However, there¹s more to QuickTime than just high quality video.  You can
incorporate VR panoramas, CD quality music, and engaging interactivity 
into
a single, cross platform resource. Your content can then be distributed to
the widest possible audience via QuickTime streaming server, CD ROM and 
the
web.

These new technologies and the infrastructure being created through the
National Grid for Learning makes originating and delivering interactive
content easier and cheaper than ever before.

Importantly, it now provides educational institutions, content providers,
and local authorities with the opportunity to exploit digital media in 
many
new ways.

For instance;
Teacher development ­ using video to record best practice and in-service
training.

Creativity ­ tools such as iMovie give students new opportunities to
experience media literacy and develop a new creative vocabulary.

Curriculum ­ recording science experiments, field trips and local history
projects.

Evidence ­ recording student achievement in subjects where evidence
gathering has traditionally been difficult.

QuickTime can also enhance the content provision of local intranets and 
aid
lifelong learning too, helping educational resources to reach more 
learners
whatever their age, wherever they happen to be.

These and many other opportunities will be presented in detail at the
QuickTime in Education Seminars in June.

   Stockley Park in London                 June 6th/7th
   Glasgow Caledonian University           June 13th/14th
   Manchester Metropolitan University      June 15th/16th


Each event is divided into two self-contained days so you're free to 
choose
the best date to suit your  interests and calendar. Making the Grid
Interactive, is aimed at policy makers, Local Authority advisers, Heads of
Department from Higher Education, and commercial content creators. The
second day, Develop, Produce, Deliver, is aimed at content creators,
managers of networks, web sites and local intranets.
