[comp.sys.amiga.advocacy] CD-I

I was reading the latest issue of ComputerWorld and in a sidebar, 
mention was made to a grant that had been given out by NSF for
developing a CD-I program with phillips for use in science and math
classes.  The idea seemed to be to have teachers develop a CD and
NSF would pay for it ($400,000).  Not a huge amount of money, but seeing
how this is the first grant of this type, I would think it is very
signifigant.  Commodore:  Was any attempt made to do something like
this with CDTV?  Logically, CDTV would work excellently for educational
purposes, and it seemed like you were pushing this as one of major
aspects of the platform at the recent CES.  Is any interaction going on
with the educational community?
