Prentice Hall asked Cortex to develop and design a
three-piece product, focused on American history, for
an audience of middle school children. This product
would accompany their current textbook and would be
comprised of an in-depth review of the U.S. Constitution,
a simulation game focused on passing a bill through
congress, and a library of important primary sources
throughout U.S. history. In the early stages this product
was to be delivered via CD-ROM, but would migrate to
online delivery through the Prentice Hall website. We
kept this need in mind and housed the product within
a custom built browser, based off of the Mozilla browser
code, to better fit Prentice Halls needs. There
were several design iterations and we discovered many
functionality hurdles to overcome, but I feel that Prentice
Hall received both an extraordinary and unique product
that best fit the audiences needs.
