It is the only system that is fully scalable for notebook and desktop PCs as well as large screens for personal, small group or large room use. Hypergraphics provides software and workbooks for Glenc'e/McGraw Hill's technical textbooks in which multimedia, interactive questions and wireless student response units aid teachers in assessing comprehension. By adding Virtual Desk PC, similar services can be provided to remote classrooms as well. Imagelink, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA, (412) 344-7511.
