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 Hall’s 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 audience’s needs.

Prentice Hall had no ideas, only a need, for a game, which would send the student through the process of passing a bill through congress, in the year 2010. This was to be a Director based game that would be accessible through the Constitution’s main menu. We tackled the challenge though effective team collaboration on product concept and the use of a subject matter expert for content creation. Our solution was to provide a simulated web based application that gave congress members the ability to perform their duties online.
