Examples
Introduction to Thermodynamics Engineering Statics Material Science Laboratory Nos Vemos Project
Your Turn Project
Flash Software Ubiquitous Flexible Vendor-Independent Band Width Friendly Time Line – Layer Metaphor Readily Learned Today’s presentations become part of
tomorrow’s course modules
Your Turn Project
Nos Vemos Engine is a good Starting Point Allows presentation of videos, audios,
graphics and streaming text Engine written for content creator, not for
programmer Navigation, streaming, and
synchronization are automatic
Your Turn Project
Storyboard is the heart of the project Two Screen Formats
Large Screen with Audio, Graphic, & Streaming Text
Small/Medium Screen with Audio, Graphic, & Streaming Text
Your Turn Project (Large Screen Format)
See LARGE SCREEN WORKSHEET.DOC File
Your Turn Project (Small/Medium Screen Format)
See SM-MED SCREEN WORKSHEET.DOC File
Your Turn Project
Take some time to begin building your own storyboard
Large and Sm/Med forms are in your packet
I have additional forms if you need them
Your Turn Project
QUESTIONS & OBSERVATIONS
Your Turn Project - Production
Audio Production Any audio recording and editing software
that produces MP3 file is acceptable; I prefer AUDACITY which is freeware. Available at
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ or search on “audacity freeware”
Don’t forget to install the separate MP3 DLL module.
Your Turn Project - Production
Graphics Production Any graphic editor that produces JPEG
files will work I prefer Macromedia FIREWORKS Export Powerpoint slides as JPEGS and
resize them with a graphic editor. There must be many other ways of
producing JPEG graphics.
Your Turn Project - Production
Video Production Record Digital Video Edit with software such as Adobe
PRIEMER Import video into Flash Publish from FLASH as a Flash movie
(.SWF format)
Your Turn Project - Production
FLASH Production Use FLASH to prepare you Flash movie Publish the movie as a shockwave file
(.swf) Time consuming Suggest that these be developed as
student projects
Your Turn Project – File Organization
Files can be all be placed in a single folder or a system of folders like shown here.
HTML & flash Movie files required for Web
Flash player required for CD or Hard drive
Module Map is always required
Your Turn Project – File Organization
Place MP3 files in audio folder
Place JPG files in Graphics folder
Place SWF movies in Movies folder
Load all files on a web server or local media
One folder like this one for each learning module
Your Turn Project -Sequencing
ModuleMap.XML is the slide sequencing file This is an XML file using XML markup Edit only with a XML editor, like Macromedia
Dreamweaver or a no-frills text processor like Notepad
All markup tags must have an opening and closing tag and must be properly nested.
Your storyboard is used to generate this file
