Why register your details on this site?

To download evaluation software and free materials

Once registered, when logged in, access to our evaluation software and free materials is made easier - simply click on the links where you see them and you will receive an email with download and installation instructions. This saves having to go through the shopping cart process.

Once registered, when logged in, placing enquiries is made simpler through our contact form as your details are on file.

Evaluation software and free materials can still be ordered though the shop system and you become registered as a result so on subsequent visits to the site the process is made easier for you.

Additionally, if you make a purchase some of your details are already available avoiding having to enter them again. Please note we do NOT store sensitive information such as credit card numbers.

What do we do with your data?

To access additional information for instructors

Some information on the site is more appropriate for teachers/instructors and this premium content is reserved for people who are registered as a teacher. This includes suggested reading lists, teaching schedules and indications on how to assess students performance with microworlds. We will be adding to these materials and welcome your suggestions as to what you would find useful.

How do I register?
Included in the user profile area is an application form. To make it easy to validate your status we ask the following:

The URL (address) of your personal faculty page, if you have one, or the URL of a faculty list showing your status at your organisation.
If neither of these are available then an email from your official email address with your contact details

GSD reserves the right to check your status and to refuse applications
