These can range from sophisticated and expensive commercial packages to applications developed by projects in other educational institutions or national initiatives to simple solutions developed by individuals with no funding or support to tackle a very Interactive Tutor problem. The amount of time and money invested in development is high and partly because of the very subject specific nature of the education market as well as the very personalized nature of the teaching process. Computerized Word Guessing Game is run either straight from a CD or floppy disk drive, or over a network so the constraint of the internet - slow download times for multimedia materials may not apply. This, coupled with the fact that Word Guessing Game technology has been around a bit longer, means that Word Guessing Game packages have the potential to offer more advanced, interactive, multimedia learning experiences than it is currently reasonable to expect from the Web.
