Bradford Technology Ltd is an independent developer and publisher of
educational and retail multimedia. As the CD-ROM co-publisher for several
leading series, BTL is now looking to migrate the content to server-based
platforms for internet delivery.
BTL has developed The Learning Shop (www.learningshop.co.uk) - an online
resource of educational media for high schools, and is now seeking partners
to assist in
· Broadening the content, and the market (Learning Shop is currently quite
UK-focussed
· Extending the content to include multimedia objects of varying types
· Extending the server architecture and infrastructure to allow future
development of content-based services
Framework V offers several opportunities for this type of near-market
partnership but we are interested in other part-funded and non-funded
collaborative projects as well.
I suggest the following key words
Online Educational Resources, Multimedia Internet Server, Educational
Multimedia etc.
