I would like to share a Metacard Moment with all of you.
I am operating an internet Trigonometry course. For the course I have
created dozens of gif files, each with several pages, each page timed to
deliver one part of a concept. The time varied from 1 second to as long as
30 seconds, depending upon the complexity of the individual page.
Some students wanted to be able to page through the files more quickly, so I
converted the gifs to Quicktime files. That was OK for a while, but recently
Tripod (where my course material sits) decided that QT files should not be
allowed to operate.
So today, I threw together a 1-card MetaCard stack, with a viewer and a
button. The student downloads the gif to his disk, opens the MetaCard
standalone, clicks the button, selects the file, and he or she is able to
page through it at their own leisure with the controller.
And it only took me about a half-hour to get it right!
Now good people, where else are you going to get a cross-platform product
that will let you do something like that, that quickly?
Scott and company, I thank you very much!
