The future of education

At Digital Frog International, we offer you a glimpse of the future.

In this utopian future, students will no longer trudge to and from school weighed down by heavy textbooks to complete just two or three pages of homework. ALL students, including those with disabilities, will be able to access the learning tools they need anywhere, anytime and in the way that works for them.

Students will be actively engaged in learning, and enthusiastic about the experience. Students will be able to submit their work to the teacher in a variety of ways—saving it to a web site, sending it by email, and even writing it out by hand and giving it to the teacher!

ScienceMatrix is our first step toward this vision.

The future is NOW

With ScienceMatrix, discrete but integrated modules closely tied to your middle and secondary school science curriculum, you don't have to wait for that utopian future—the first module, Cell Structure and Function, is available now. ScienceMatrix supports the materials you already use in your classroom by taking full advantage of current technologies to teach science better than ever. Hands-on activities help students understand the most challenging topics. Context-sensitive definitions and pronunciations support the learning experience and minimize misconceptions.

Tied to YOUR curriculum

ScienceMatrix is closely aligned with the Pan Canadian Standards and U.S. Benchmarks, ensuring that the content matches the curriculum being used in your middle and secondary school classrooms.

Accessible to EVERY student

At Digital Frog International, we are committed to the principles of Universal Design for Learning. Our recent title, The Digital Field Trip to The Rainforest AT, is the most universally-accessible instructional software currently on the market. ScienceMatrix builds on this, incorporating full self-voicing text-to-speech, audible descriptions for every image, video closed-captioning, and complete keyboard access, all available by a single keystroke.

The benefits of universal accessibility extend to all students, not just those with special needs. This highly flexible, layered approach appeals to all students, assisting a broad range of levels, learning styles and interests without compromising the excellent design features that have always characterized DFI products. Now all students can use and benefit from a single software title: not "separate but equal" education, but truly equitable access to education.

Award-winning software at an affordable price

In 2003, ScienceMatrix: Cell Structure and Function was named one of the world's five best e-science programs by the Grand Jury of World Summit Awards in Geneva. “Often students are turned off a career in the sciences because they find the materials in school difficult to understand or boring," stated the jury evaluation. "ScienceMatrix presents difficult to understand concepts in a captivating and engaging way."

And with prices starting at just $49 for an individual copy or $399 for an unlimited building site license, one of the best science programs is also good value for any classroom. And there is no subscription fee—the prices are a one-time licensing fee, allowing you to use the program year after year.
