The Learning Company does a lot of educational software.  Their website
address is http://www.mecc.com/home.htm  You should be able to find some
general contact information to start with.

To answer your question, this is not a service that our office "normally"
provides for our faculty.   They come to us with the partnerships already
established.

Good luck!
