Cultural content is combined with critical thinking. There is one cd-rom per computer, so you need more than one copy of the program if you want to use it on more than one monitor. This should not be necessary, however, because students can work in teams and rotate at the computer. The content of the cd-rom are six debate videos and eight additional 'connection' movies. Each lasts only a few minutes.
Students have only to enter their names and click on their choice, then watch a movie.
This is all the computer work involved. It could have been accomplished as well on a video monitor. The cd-rom form is simply a more advanced, convenient technology. It is also beneficial, because students can easily pause and replay the movie. There is almost no room for student error in running the program.
