I have been hearing more and more about HTML 5 during the past year. It has received A LOT more attention in the last week since YouTube released an HTML 5 Beta program . So, what is HTML 5? HTML5 is the next major revision of HTML. It is currently still a draft, but expected in 2012 ( W3C Candidate Recommendation status). Here are some of the improvements that will be found in HTML 5:

Now we have HTML 5 coming up – this makes the race hotter. Those of you have heard of HTML 5 will know it’s a new version of HTML and XHTML being promoted by Google and Apple in a bid to move the web away from proprietary technologies like Flash, Silverlight and JavaFX. It makes HTML more powerful by adding new elements like video and audio. A couple of weeks back we posted about Silverlight posing some (at this time, actually little) competition to Flash. Or does it?

It might not be sounding sexy, but it does deliver all: the HTML + CSS + mp4 set will be our main coding set for the mobile modules we are planning to give. HTML has been around for a longtime and it is the easiest language out there to code in (I think). As I started writing the previous week , we are working on a mobile module that is accessible by a lot of (I know it is vague for now, but I will make it more substantial soon) mobile devices. The models we aim for are currently iPhone 3G, Nokia N95 and HTC TyTn.

It’s one of those little apps that seem to have countless uses, simple as well as complex. Easy and simple html : Late last century, in my sojourn with html, I learnt that web builders often used Notepad directly to build web pages. d realised that a file-extension had a function, and that in some files the extension could be changed without the screen exploding. Someone who is well familiar with the ins-and-outs of html can open a Notepad file and type in text, adding their own html code to put in the formatting, such as font, colour text size etc.

Now that the first half of the year is over, I thought I'd take a look at our stats and see which blog posts written in 2009, have been most popular so far. So here are they are in order the Top 5 Blog Posts of 2009 (so far): Top 10 Best Practices for Teaching Online Top 6 Tips on Course Design from an Instructional Designer Top 5 tips on Course Design from an Interaction Designer 7 things to Avoid in Online Training Video Design Fundamental Shift in the Way we Conduct Learning 5th equal with Calling all Learning Professionals on Twitter @Schnicker ...Tags:

Lectora allows you to add, subtract, multiply, and divide variables.

Following the instructions given here does not need a lot of technical know-how, but it does need an awareness of Hypertext Markup Language (html) and some recognition of its quirks and symbols. I do not recommend that you use the instructions in this post unless you have had a little experience in using the html editor on your blog posts. For those who can In last week's part 1 of Do-It-Yourself Image Mapping , I explained how pixels in an image can be charted by their coordinates. I used the Poor Person’s Image Mapper .

In this case the courses were initially made in eXe , with some interactive javascript and html as the technical basis of the course. The things I think off while recoding an existing course into an html course that is accessible with mobile devices (even cheap ones): Html editing software : I use dreamweaver at work, but if you are in need for a free and easy one: coffeecup.com or html kit Resizing images with photoshop or the free and great photo editing software irfanview to an appropriate size (= less than the screen resolution of a cell phone, approx 128 X 160 ) Limited
