TITLE: ESDF

The Educational Software Developers Forum - ESDF

ESDF consists of technical representatives from a wide range of

educational software development organisations, both commercial and

non-commercial. The group was formed in the last two years of the

Microelectronics Education Programme (MEP) and continues with support

from the Microelectronics Education Support Unit (MESU). Many of the

problems facing such organisations were common to all and each gained

by a sharing of expertise. ESDF has benefited from the many years of

experience its members have in developing educational software for

national and international markets.
