Shakespeare In Bits Live! is a cloud-based service that can be accessed from any location through a browser and Internet connection. With over 140 schools accessing the service, Shakespeare In Bits Live! is proving a popular choice with traditional and virtual schools due to its low-cost, subscription-based offering that can be used in class and accessed from any location by students wanting to complete homework or additional study.

Christy Hartman, English Department Co-chair at the California-based Julian Charter School, says, "As an English teacher whose students study independently, Shakespeare In Bits Live! is the ideal solution for our online classroom. Traditionally, Shakespeare has always been a tough sell in a virtual environment, but I think this will change with innovative solutions like Shakespeare In Bits."

Dan Reid, English Teacher with British Columbia-based Vernon Virtual Education, says, "With features such as the in-line translation tool that provides modern-day translations of some archaic words and phrases, Shakespeare In Bits is a highly interactive tool that succeeds in demystifying a 400-year-old text, making it more engaging and easily digestible."

MindConnex Learning, creator of Shakespeare In Bits, currently has 40,000 users of the product across all platforms (online, PC/Mac, iPad/iPhone). Four plays are currently available -- Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream -- with a fifth -- Julius Caesar -- due for release later this month.

"We are thrilled to welcome on board four such prestigious virtual learning institutions as Julian Charter School, Virtual High School, Rocky View Virtual School, and Vernon Virtual Learning. Shakespeare In Bits Live! is an ideal product for virtual schools as the content is specifically designed to deliver an individualized and interactive learning experience", says Michael Cordner, CEO of MindConnex Learning.
