The July EL Gazette contains a review of the new coursebook “Move” (Intermediate) from Macmillan.

Extract:

The book is [...] is supported by a CD-ROM. The look of this disc is the same as that on the Macmillan English Campus, and some of the features such as the games and a way of storing vocabulary have been imported from this product. This gives added value to the course.

See also:

Wayne Trotman’s review of “Language Games for English language Learners CD-Rom” – also Macmillan.

Both in EL reviews, page 19.
