  Software and Courseware On-line Reviews (SCOR) database

The   Software  and  Courseware  On-line  Reviews   (SCOR)
database aims to enable teachers and lecturers to identify
software  and  courseware which can  be  used  to  improve
teaching and learning.   It includes information not  just
about software suitable for use at the school level,  both
primary  or  elementary  and  secondary,  but  also  about
software at the tertiary or higher education level.

It  is  intended that the database will include  not  only
information about quality software produced world-wide for
use  in teaching and learning  but also information  about
research activities in the area of computer based learning
and multimedia and innovative staff development activities
in the field.

It  is available as both WAIS and Gopher services over the
Internet  and  AARNet.  For the convenience of  users  the
database has been split into two, the one for primary  and
secondary software (k-12-software) and the  other tertiary
or  higher  education   level  software (higher-education-
software).  Information about software of interest to both 
sector is stored  in  either database.     

Both databases  contain the  following  information  about  
each software package recorded: the title  of the package, 
its discipline or subject area, a brief description of the 
package,   course(s)  in  which it  is used,  whether  for 
Primary,  Secondary  or  Tertiary  use,  the intended  age 
group, documentation  provided  with   the software,   
information about  the  author(s)   and   the publisher,  
hardware requirements  and, where possible, reviews of the
software.

Contributors  are  asked  to forward  information  to  the
Information Officer at Curtin Computing Centre  using  the
Database Entry Form.
