JISC RSC UK has generously provided EduApps for all delegates at ALT-C 2009.
EduApps is an initiative developed by the JISC Regional Support Centre Scotland North & East and expands on the already very successful AccessApps. EduApps extends the AccessApps philosophy of free portable software in your pocket to include bundles of applications specifically designed for teachers 'TeachApps' and learners 'LearnApps'. Currently we host over 90 open source and freeware software applications which can be entirely used from a USB stick on a Windows computer.
Select the bundle of applications which best suit your individual needs. Click here for a full list of applications and comparison of bundles on offer.

If you can't find a package to suit your needs, then create your own MyApps bundle by selecting from the range of available applications before downloading them in a single installation file (Having problems - watch screencast on 'Pick n Mix').
We have prepared a range of materials to get you up and running including step-by-step tutorials and video guides for using the main applications. You can access this material on the Help page.
If you are having any problems downloading/using any of the EduApps packages or suggestions for improvements please post a message on our forum (we regularly monitor this page and will get back to you quickly - promise!).
