The Vision
RM Easiteach Next Generation is a software application that allows teachers to build rich and engaging interactive activities that deliver inspiring learning experiences and that utilise the best interactive technologies available. These experiences are shared across the world and many people contribute to the growing set of tools, resources and features so that even more people will experience the engagement and inspiration bought about by great learning.

From the outset it supports many languages. The tool bar system has been replaced by a more sophisticated ribbon bar that provides rapid access to commonly used functions in just a couple of touches. Much of the
‘Curriculum’ functionality is carried over from the previous Easiteach software, but
each element is rewritten to take advantage of the new application.
