Will it ever allow the use of Flash? While there’s been a lot of talk both ways, I’d still like it, lots of content out there is in Flash.
The iPad is here. After all the hype, which it didn’t quite live up to, there was a lot of commentary web-wide on whether it’s suitable for elearning, or a specific type of learning. Here at Upside our camp is divided, there are iPad lovers and

Flash Ready
For a variety of reasons that probably only insiders understand, both the iPad and the iPhone do not play Flash movies. Although there will be other types of content creation tools, I see the lack of Flash support as a huge limitation for course developers.
The iPad is well-equipped for delivering movies (sans Flash), music, narration, graphics and text. The noise about the release of Apple’s iPad has been a bit overwhelming. Were you too busy to read the reviews, analysis and opinions?

For more interactive elements, I used Flash and imported the SWFs into Authorware. Almost every course involved using Flash for interactive elements (animations, games, quizzes, simulations, video, etc.). It has gotten to a point where some of my courses are all developed in Flash and the e-learning authoring tools (DHTML) have been used more as a “shell” that decompiles it as a SCORM package. Back when I first started developing e-learning courses, I used Macromedia’s Authorware. Over the years, I have used ToolBook, Trainersoft, and even Dreamweaver with

I have been doing some research on making Adobe Flash SWfs 508 compliant and found some great resources I would like to share. FYI: Adobe has come quite a way in making Flash more accessible. Accessibility with Flash has been a challenge over the years and prevented many organizations, especially U.S. Government agencies, from using Flash.
Creating Accessible Sites in Flash - This Adobe presentation provides a great introduction on how to make Flash accessible to users with disabilities.

Update June 2008 - added one free flash quiz tool based on a question I received. Unfortunately, it didn't tell me how they produced output and the desire was for self-contained Flash. But, I could quickly link to the sites to find out more and finally recommended that they should look at: Articulate Quizmaker allows you to easily create Flash-based quizzes, surveys, and assessments. This tool is listed at the bottom. A client wanted to create online quizzes that would live inside of a larger site.

We’ve been building a lot of eLearning Flash templates lately and I started to think what I’ve learned that I might be able to share. Here are my 6 tips to build Flash eLearning templates that are more user-friendly:
Frame labels are an easy way to ensure that the flash movie always goes to the section that it should. Lots of people like to use templates to start a project. It speeds up development time and can help new users build some great content without having to know how to build it from scratch.

It has been announced that Flash will be available on TVs! This is not only a great opportunity for Adobe Flash, but opens up many, many opportunities for Flash developers and hopefully e-learning designers.
This will now place rich Internet applications (RIA) on TVs, using Flash Lite Player 3. This news from Broadcom and Adobe certainly caught my attention. For now I am going to assume a content developer’s kit (CDK) will be provided by Adobe and the TV remote will act in the same manner as a Flash enabled phone’s key pad, recognizing key presses, etc.

With Flash you easily convert your imported graphics into vector graphics. Once converted, you can manipulate the vector graphic from within Flash. For example, remove colors, add colors, distort shapes, etc. This has been extremely helpful while working on a Ben Franklin course I am currently developing. I

FlashCard Friends does a lot of what you'd expect in terms of creating Flash Cards for students. It also does some interesting things: Allows users to categorize flash cards, mark them as being associated with particular text books, and then helps with the sharing of content. If you think about it, shouldn't the Flash Cards for most K-8 classes be similar? I was contacted by Mike Hogan, the creator of Flashcard Friends . This is an interesting little application and might imply a few things around where things are going.

I have been deep into numerous Flash projects. Some are WBT’s that contain Flash interactions, others are entire courses made in Flash. For some, I am delving beyond my current knowledge of Flash Actionscript. Thus, I have been visiting many Flash tutorials. Here are some of the Flash tutorial sites I found out there. FYI: These sites contain free tutorials.

I was recently asked what video format to use and particularly about the differences between the Flash Video Format (FLV) and Windows Media - WMV Format. In The Rise of Flash Video - Tom Green tells us: This is not to say QuickTime and Windows Media are dead technologies. They aren't by a long shot, but when it comes to putting video on the web, the Flash Player has rapidly become the only game in town. Why has this happened? Market Penetration The Flash player is installed on a higher percentage of end user computers than any other video format.

Articulate has more choices for annotations types when compared to Adobe Captivate. Publish your screencast in Flash at the touch of a button so it can then be uploaded to your learning management system of choice. Tags: tutorial demonstration screencast flas Screencasting can be useful in distance education. Recently, I met with colleagues who are designing a distance course in physics.
