BTL Profile

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.
