Definition
Educational software can refer to most educational technologies, i.e. all software designed or used to facilitate teaching and learning.

- CBT sofware and Web-based training (WBT)
- Computer-based learning environments like microworlds, computer simulations and Hypertext systems.
- Cognitive tools
I.e. everything that is not just pure computer-mediated communication or professional tools, see educational technologies anyhow for an overview.
