The result of strategic partnership between DigitalXpert, the Russian innovative IT company, and Sunburst, a leading American company in the educational software market, has produced an exclusive educational product – WriteBrain.

WriteBrain  is a progressively complex system for distance learning that teaches the writing process to students in grades 2 through 8. The abundant potential of the product was confirmed by its overwhelming success in the USA at the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC 2006). The WriteBrain exhibit drew constant attention and praise from educators and administrators at this premier educational conference.

Another notable indicator of WriteBrain's success is the signing of a contract with Apple - the largest IT company that provides most American schools with computer hardware and software. Apple made its decision to use WriteBrain on the basis of detailed study and comparison with other products that teach reading and writing. The contract provides including WriteBrain in Apple's educational set and its distribution by more than 400 salespeople in the USA and Canada (http://www.apple.com/education/solutions/accp/literacy/writebrain.html).

Dr. Tara V.Wilkie, a specialist in on-line education, suggested the original idea of the product. Having combined her rich experience and the platform developed by DigitalXpert, the international team was able to create a software solution which differs from the rivals and is remarkable both for the complete set of widely known functionality and for the existence of its own unequalled solutions.

WriteBrain's goal is to optimize interaction between teachers and their students, to stimulate the student's interest to writing, to develop capabilities for structural and analytical reasoning, and to enhance the self-evaluation skills.

WriteBrain's release confirmed the status of DigitalXpert as a developer of progressive software solutions with broad functionality. Today, DigitalXpert has an expanding portfolio of successful software products, many of which occupy top positions on the Western educational software market. As distance education becomes more widespread in Russia, the platforms developed by the company and its established development experience are required by Russian educational institutions as well.
