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.
