"The Schools and Lifelong Learning Service in Cardiff, has worked closely with ISSET to develop and trial Space and its Mysteries. The results have been impressive with learners across the ability range and particularly with harder to reach pupils, who showed significant gains in motivation, engagement and achievement. This excellent educational package uses the latest teaching approaches and multimedia techniques to provide an irresistible learning environment."
