Modern Parables On Demand Curriculum
My already complimentary opinion of Modern Parables inflated upon reception of the following e-mail notice regarding what the good folk over at Compass Cinema are calling On Demand Curriculum.
Modern Parables films, application videos, and study materials are now available for digital download! We’ve spent the past month developing a new site that will enable our customers to buy our films and related materials one parable at a time. Each downloadable package includes one parable film, one application video, a director’s commentary, and a combined Student Book/Teacher’s Guide on PDF.
This is very, very cool and convenient. Well done Compass Cinema!
