About Us
Educational-web was created to provide web-based education solutions. David and Craig began working together in 2000 while employed at a private university in Tennessee. The ability for Craig to provide an educator's perspective and David's ability to create interactive media proved to be an effective combination. Their groundbreaking work sparked enthusiasm and kick-started the university's online education program which continues to this day.
While David and Craig have moved out of the university atmosphere, their collaboration continues. They formed Educational-web in 2003. Since that time they have been busy bringing history, geography and sociology to life for their clients.
