Core Educational Software and Core Apps
All online products and some course components for quick reference as ‘apps’ are available for purchase at Core Learning’s corporate web site: www.core-learning.com. To help you choose, consider the following:
- Online services are installed on Core Learning’s servers; software and apps are installed on your computing device and utilize some of that device’s capacity
- Online services can be accessed from any computing device and your results will be saved online (‘in the cloud’). Installed software or apps are installed on a single device and the results are saved to that device. There are some limitations to the extent of data saved on certain devices, for example, Macintosh computers and iPads.
- Online services are for a single user and for a limited period. Installed software or apps can accommodate multiple users and are not time limited.
