What is the ESC? |
|
| The Educational Software Co-operative |
|
The ESC (Educational Software Co-operative) is a non-profit corporation bringing together developers, publishers, distributors and users of educational software. |
|
|
ESC goals are "To advance the mutual benefit of authors, publishers, dealers and distributors of educational software; to voluntarily co-operate formally and informally with each other to better develop, advertise, distribute and sell our educational software; to provide the public with information regarding the benefits, uses, and availability of educational software." |
|
|
Anyone who has an interest in ESC's goals is welcome to join. For more information about joining send your inquiry by email to info@edu-soft.org. Basic annual membership ($25) includes regular newsletters, a copy of the CD-ROM and other benefits. Check out their web site at http://www.edu-soft.com |
 |
|
A wide variety of educational software titles for both children and adults are available on a CD ROM which can be purchased through many ESC members (including ourselves). More details and some sample screenshots from just a few programs can be seen below. |
 |
|
If you are genuinely interested in Educational Software then why not think about joining the ESC? You do not have to write (or sell) educational software. Many members do distribute software through shareware or other "try before you buy" methods. However, it is not specifically a shareware organisation. Some members sell software through on-lines sales, mail-order, stores, and other retail channels. Others are consultants, online providers, teachers, and parents. |
|
 |
The latest ESC CD-ROM is available direct from Wise Owl for £17.50 (includes UK postage). Now on Sale for only £10.00. It contains an wide range of educational titles for all ages from 3-adult, with easy-to-use menus for DOS, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 users. |
 |
|
For more details please email, write or telephone. Below you can view just a few screen shots from the 250+ programs you will find on this excellent CD. Please remember to register any shareware you continue to use. All titles also available individually on disk. |
