Company History
MCH Multimedia is a company dedicated to bring educational multimedia at the secondary and college level to students at affordable prices. Concomitant with this, MCH also offers eBook developments, copy protection and marketing to academics wishing to publish their own works. Bryan Sanctuary, a Professor of Chemistry at McGill University (Montreal, Canada), is the primary author as well as president of the company. In the early 1990's Professor Sanctuary started to use the multimedia developing tools of Macromedia's Authorware (version 2) and Autodesk's DOS based Animator Pro to develop multimedia for classroom presentations. In 1995 he began MCH which is an acronym of his children's names, and coincidently stands for
More Chemistry Help.
In the late 1990's most of the development concentrated on five courses: Introductory Chemistry; General Chemistry; Organic Chemistry; General Physics (cal) and General Physics (non-cal). In that period, he employed both professionals and students to help in the development. Academics were consulted to review the material for accuracy. These products have been upgraded to version 7 as of 2009.
In 2002 Professor Sanctuary was signed on as an author of the Physical Chemistry text book with co-authors Professor Keith Laidler (U. of Ottawa); and Professor John Meiser (Ball State U.). MCH received the contract to develop a multimedia package to accompany the book. Although Laidler, Meiser and Sanctuary was one of the top books in Physical chemistry, upon the passing of Professor Laidler, Houghton Mifflin decided not to continue with hard copy production. The copyright for the book returned the the authors. Starting in 2007, MCH, working with various devolopers, but primarily
BandByte Media Inc, started to convert Laidler, Meiser and Sanctuary to a top quality eBook which was published in December of 2009.
