HistoryEMC Publishing, LLC began in the basement of a private home on the East Side of St. Paul, Minnesota, in early 1954. Here a small group of recording specialists and university professors joined forces to develop some of the first educational reel-to-reel tape recordings ever to be used in the classroom. By June, the company was operating out of a small office and studio facility at 806 East Seventh Street on the East Side of St. Paul. The first years were difficult ones. EMC was pioneering a new educational technology. In general, schools were not yet ready for tape as a teaching tool. Industry, however, was increasingly making use of audiovisual aids - tapes and filmstrips - for training and promotions. For a time, EMC shifted emphasis from the production of classroom materials to the development of audiovisual training and sales presentations for industrial clients, but continued to offer educational recordings to the school market.SpecialtiesEMC Publishing, LLC specializing in K - 12 world language curriculum & materials has just launched a new website, www.EarlyLanguageLearner.com.
