challenge
CBC-English Radio was faced with the formidable task of helping new staff understand what goes into the making of a radio documentary. Successful radio documentaries transport the listener to interesting places by using sounds, scenes and people.

solution
The solution was The World of Radio Documentary. The CBC designed an interactive "how-to" computer workshop on short radio documentary production. The daunting task of breathing life into their design fell to Biographix. So successful was the implementation, the CBC elected to commercially release the product.
