Time-Life Education produced biographical sketches for its History Makers series, two of which were designed and developed by Redmon. This CD-ROM is about Eleanor Roosevelt, the humanitarian and First Lady of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The program provides a content-rich, interactive, educational experience for middle-school students.
The program includes an interactive time line that traces both the life of Eleanor Roosevelt and major historical events of that period, as well as a biographical directory of key figures who were involved in events surrounding the equal rights, labor, and reform movements. Photographs, maps, audio clips, and historical quotes provide a vast array of background information for student research. In-depth textual summaries chronicle ethical dilemmas faced by prominent leaders during this turning point in American history. The interface provides easy-to-use, intuitive, menu-driven navigation through the program. This CD-ROM is a content-rich, highly interactive, and valuable source of information about America's "champion of freedom."
