for Android
DUBLIN, Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today
MindConnex Learning is launching all Shakespeare In Bits plays on
Android. Available through the Samsung App Store, Shakespeare In
Bits can now be experienced on all major devices.
Following the success of Shakespeare In Bits on a variety of
different platforms, The Bard is now coming to the one of the most
widely deployed operating systems in the mobile market.
Commenting on the launch of Shakespeare In Bits on Android,
Michael Cordner, CEO of MindConnex
Learning, said, "Having enjoyed the success of Shakespeare In Bits
on iPad and iPhone, as well as PC, Mac and online for schools,
launching the series on Android is a natural progression for
MindConnex Learning. As one of the most prevalent operating systems
in the market, we believe that it will enable us to reach more
students and teachers with our renditions of The Bard's works.
Android is a logical new home for Shakespeare In Bits."
Shakespeare In Bits can now be accessed in a variety of
different formats – in the cloud with Shakespeare In Bits Live!, on
iOS, Mac or PC and now on Android via SamsungApps.com, making it a
truly cross-platform app.
Shakespeare In Bits is a multimedia approach to tackling the
works of Shakespeare aimed at middle and high school teachers and
students, providing a more engaging and interactive experience.
MindConnex Learning now counts five plays in its Shakespeare In
Bits series – Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, A Midsummer
Night's Dream and Julius Caesar, with a sixth title, Othello, in
development.
Samsung is a growing competitor in the tablet market; as of 2012
Q2 sales rose 117.6% year-on-year to 2.4 million units. It is the
second largest supplier of tablet devices and its market share is
continuing to develop.
"...the number of ways in which the diverse information provided
by the software can be put together to experience a particular play
is virtually infinite, making Shakespeare In Bits
into an incredibly rich pedagogical tool with endless array of uses
both in and outside of the classroom."
- Dr Ema Vyroubalova, Trinity College
Dublin
"[T]he strongest aspects of this product, the elements that
distinguish it from other Shakespeare guides is … the concept of
"bits," which encourages readers to digest one portion of
Shakespeare at a time. Consequently, this approach to the text also
encourages better close-reading skills."
- Associate Professor Michelle
Ephraim, Worcester Polytechnic
Institute
