Reviews"The best CD-ROM I've seen."
"The processes utilised by Fraynework Multimedia to produce
such an outstanding and vivid CD-ROM [epitomise] the impact, advancements
and achievements of information technology for Indigenous education,
cultures and communities in Australia."
"In this day and age, where cultural interpretation is crucial
to our maturation as a nation, Lore of the Land contributes much
to this process by acknowledging the indigenous voice at many levels,
including legal, social, spiritual and cultural aspects of our relationship
to land"
"There are times when a reviewer is challenged by the book
or product he is reviewing. The CD Lore of the Land is a
case in point. The challenge is at several levels. One challenge
is to find words which do the CD justice.
"It is a product concerned with social justice, equity and
reconciliation. We found it an inspiring work which attempts to
use the potential of multimedia to reconcile the Indigenous and
non-indigenous people who share this land."
"Lore of the Land is a fabulous resource that gently and persuasively
tells of the role of land and spirit in the lives of the people
of this country, aboriginal and non aboriginal alike. There are
stories in here from people from a diverse and wide range of backgrounds.
"New technology is great, as long as it provides the right
material... Newcomers to the technology should be delighted by Lore
of the Land. " - Lisa Kearns - Education Age
"Fraynework Multimedia has really done its homework on Lore
of the Land. The final product is very stylishly designed, user
friendly, and draws on the latest technology to enable Australians
to reflect on these nationally important issues of social justice."
"This ancient land has a spiritual message. Listen and share
this precious knowledge."
"...it heralds that way of the future for anyone interested
in the educational possibilities of information technology."
"The use of maps, diagrams and images conveying the splendour
of the land were enhanced for me by snippets of interviews with
elders of the Kutjungka people of Western Australia and Gunditjmara
of south-western Victoria."
"The use of modern technology to deliver messages of ancient
and continuing significance seems to me to have a nice touch about
it... that the oldest living cultures on Earth can use the newest
forms of communication to keep in touch and, eventually, I hope,
present their perspective on Australia's history and cultural heritage
to the wider community... Lore of the Land will make a significant
contribution to reconciliation."
"An impressive interactive multimedia package from a company
that has already earned respect for promoting quality education
packages on justice and Indigenous issues... If you do only one
thing for Reconciliation this year - use this resource!"
"Lore of the Land is actually quite interesting and productive.
It is not at all your average CD-ROM, and it is well worth investigating
if you want to know more about our land over the past few thousand
years."
"Lore of the Land is worth knowing about. It is an innovative
interactive documentary CD-ROM and website which explores many issues
relating to spirituality, place and reconciliation. It's an excellent
resource."
"An exciting, interactive and comprehensive CD-ROM... not
only an educational tool but an enjoyable documentary that will
interest, motivate and bring understanding."
"Australia too, is making a mark in this new field [of digital
documentaries] through such creations as the Lore Of The Land website.
The interactive nature of the internet allows them to beautifully
weave together the issues and information relating to the complex
and intriguing aboriginal culture."
"Get lured into the land down-under! Explore this cultural
interactive site about Australia's Indigenous and non-indigenous
people. Features includes forums, teaching ideas and games. Check
it out and tell your friends!" |
