New business CenREL, the Centre for Rapid e-Learning, has announced that it will provide free music on all client productions created until 21 June 2009. CenREL claims there are strong data that music can assist learning and help memory, but it seems rarely used in e-Learning.

Music will occupy between 10-30% of a production and Clients will be able to test both versions and get reaction from users. "Will music improve learning, or just make it more attractive, or neither?
