As of this April, students in classrooms equipped with TV cable service (free to many public schools) and Macs or PCs have been able students to download multimedia programs about world news events for US$100 a year. Produced by Reuters reporters and educators, Ingenius's "What on Earth" program delivers six interactive programs each day with text and CD-ROM-quality video and sound clips. Students at 300 schools participating in the beta test recently saw "What on Earth" stories about Bosnia, the O.J. Simpson trial, and a history of jazz.
