Downloading KIE Software
|
PLEASE NOTE: In the coming months, the KIE project will be
succeeded by a similar project, the Web-based Integrated Science Environment (WISE)
Project. The goals of the project are essentially the same, but the software is now
completely web-based. Go to the WISE web site for more information.
The downloads offered here are Public Domain, UNSUPPORTED software.
|
- The full set of KIE student software, as well as the KIE software for developing
projects, is now available for downloading from this web site.
Before you download the software, you'll want to make sure you meet the following
technical specifications:
|
Computers
|
Macintosh system with at least a 68020 or PowerPC processor, System 7.0.1 (or later),
8 MB of memory, and a 14" display (or larger). |
|
Network
|
Internet connectivity should allow for adequate, simultaneous Web browsing for
all of the student computers on the local network. Internet Service Providers should
be able to answer questions about particular configurations.
The KIE software can run over a local network (or LAN) using a Mac file server
or on individual machines. If run over a network, students can access their work
from any of the machines connected to the network.
|
- In order to get the software, simply send
us a message describing your interest in KIE, and we will send you a user name
and password. At that point you will be able to:
-
- Download the Software
-
- You will receive a file which you can use to install the custom KIE student software
and four KIE Projects ("All the News", "Houses in the Desert",
"How Far Does Light Go?", and "Light and Color Debate"; see our
Curriculum Library for more information
on these, including lesson plans.)
We do not have the resources to provide technical support, unless you are a KIE Partner.
