eLearning Flash Generation Language – Aztec Learning Systems

Phase I:

Developed an eLearning language for generation of Flash movies from client server internet applications. The language can produce learning screens with a variety of assets along with interactive quizzing of students with choices and drag/drop actions.

Design constraints resulted in a low bandwidth (56K) dynamic Flash Movie generator with modular media element component extensibility.

Phase II:

Provided a screen integration team to convert the 4000 screens customer had in their Authorware product to the new screen language.

Phase III:

Added template based gui wizard to generate eLearning language. Designed for less technical educators to develope educational lesson without having to know the eLearning language.

Software allows client technicians to develop and unlimited number of screen templates that control one or more gui dialog windows.

The gui controls are further customizable to limit or expand user´s choices.

Software involved developing a low bandwidth object oriented gui library (windows, buttons, combo boxes, scrollers) with a base movie footprint under 40K.

The gui dialogs were designed using a external dynamic loading component based design. This allows for development an unlimited variety of gui dialogs without increasing the size of the base movie.

Manufacturing Statistical Control (Allied Signal)

Allied manufactured chemicals meeting strict customer specifications. Because of the hundreds of variables and the tight tolerance measurements, Allied wanted to automate the manufacturing process control reporting, improve quality, and expand capacity.

The system accumulated data for multiple manufacturing processes. The system used statistical formulas to produce mean and range charts (statistical control graphs) on any one or more of the hundreds of measurements. This required working with engineers and statisticians to convert the complicated formulas into computer code. Printed reports and graphs are used in proposals as well as documentation to deliveries.
