Inanimate Alice
An interactive story, set in remote Northern China during the early years of the 21st century, 'Inanimate Alice' tells the story of Alice and her imaginary digital friend Brad. Through text, sound, images, music and games, the story of Alice becomes increasingly interactive and game-like, reflecting Alice's own developing skills as a game designer and animator. Students from primary (as young as 8 years of age) to post-graduate level find this digital novel engaging. Will appeal to both book-lovers and computer gamers alike. The level of interactivity starts out low in episode one, increasing with each subsequent episode, which enables an audience unfamiliar with multimedia fiction to easily participate. This resource is also multi-lingual and available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish and is being used by teachers in over 80 countries. Available on all devices capable of running Adobe's Flash Player. Education Pack for Teachers requires free registration.

The focus group agreed on the need for a better definition of lesson plans, how they are used and how they are described, as being an important contribution towards supporting interoperability of them
