Abstract:
There is real need for great flexibility in delivering e-learning
content, not just CD and the web, but mobile and other devices. The
Flash Platform is a way forward and that there are simple tools that
can be used to create the content. I demonstrate how
teachers/lecturers with low technical skills and high teaching
skills can rapidly create content and assess learning/understanding.
I present a case study on the National University of Singapore
experience and use their own internal presentations and courseware
to show greater involvement by teachers and students in learning. I
present the trends as we see them, show how we address them, and
show the lessons learnt and how solutions from Macromedia go to
address these issues.
Macromedia Breeze is built on top of the Breeze Communication
Server, and offers four unique applications that provide specific
functionality. Breeze Presenter and Training let you easily deliver
rich web experiences for distance learning, professional
development, and on-demand collaboration. Educators, staff, and
students can use such familiar tools as Microsoft PowerPoint to
author, publish, and track Flash-based education and training
materials. Macromedia Breeze Meeting lets you extend these
capabilities with interactive presentations and live discussions.
The new Breeze Events offers registration management and tracking
for large online events and presentations.
