What we like at these products is the on-line Teacher Tracking: All 
the teacher has to do is enter a password to instantly monitor each 
student's progress by Module Mark, Concept Mark, or Problem Mark. The 
teacher can print a report card for each student and/or review his/her 
Learning Route visually. The Home Version, of course, does not include
this feature; only School Version has it.

As for students having difficulty understanding a concept they are 
automatically provided with additional questions structured to assist 
them in their problem area. Students who have little or no difficulty 
may complete the module in fewer steps. Each student's experience
with the program will be different but the ultimate learning outcome 
will be the same. 

At last, some smart designers have understood the education/teacher
needs.
