Wow. About time people stopped vilifying gamers as hot coffee addicts, or psycho loonie nutters with offline agendas. Nice to see some figures that can't be argued with, either.
That is absolutely wizard. I love that game, so it's great that it's actually helping kids to learn stuff, and I love that both Atari and Bioware were supportive of the project. I feel all warm and gooey. :)
Where do those numbers come from? I can find £500/£650 here (http://www.alteredlearning.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=38) for the game pack, but it doesn't mention seat licenses...
No, further down that page has the price you mentioned, £900, for 'key skills' or something like that. But still no 'per student' price.
Oh, but you don't get to keep the software once you've paid £900 for it, you have to pay a £750 PER BLOODY YEAR 'licensing fee' thereafter. Yow. Maybe that's what they've replaced the seat license with.
