The Development Process for Technology Products
Whether you are producing interactive lesson plans, remedial reading programs, or other new media educational tools, most educational technology products follow a similar development process. ePP's services are designed to ensure that each phase of the process, and so the entire project, is successful.

|
Content & Functionality Review

|
Delivery
