Recently I made a visit to Rajasthan. when I visited SSA-Rajasthan , I observed a lot of hurdle for their foss migration. The First hurdle came from Azim-Premji foundation which has distributed some e-learning modules CDs which basically contain Main.exe and some swf file. I was able to play those CDs using wine over GNU/Linux but the quality was poor and not 100% playback. moreover it need abobe-flash to view those e-learning content.
So Let me put the E-learning content Guidelines === Guideline for E-learning content === 1) All e-learning must not be depends on a particular Operating system like windows 2) Do not use compression algorithm like rar, If need use zip or tar, tar.gz 3) long back with a long research I have propose 5 principles or aspects of education contents over web. E-learning content must follow them - http://techfandu.blogspot.com/2008/10/5-essential-aspects-of-educational.html 4) you can view the first webpage developed at http://info.cern.ch/ and you will be able to view it after 100 years. So basically HTML5 is the right answer to making e-learning content. Benefits of HTML5 ## All you need one browser to view those content. this make it operating system independent ## You will be able to view after 100 years too ## No Royalty payment ## Purchase of any advance tool (SDK etc )is not needed to work on HTML5. ## HTML5 easy to learn. ## SVG can produce any type of animation. even IE9 is going to support SVG ## Canvas API can be used to generate any pixel based graphics ## Audio video API are available ## using jQuery , one need to write 10 times less code for coding any webapplication. ## Server is not need to view html5 based e-learning modules, basically you need one browser. (Firefox Or Chrome) 5) Upto to some extent, mobile do provide browser. you will be able to view content over mobile, All your e-learning content will become m-learning content. PS: Eduvid is a meta format (wrapper format) over HTML5 which i am working on for some years which has potential to become a standard way to create/transfer e-content. contact me offlist if you are interested in. -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya ( नरेन्द्र सिसोदिया ) │ Society for Knowledge Commons │ Web : http://narendra.techfandu.org └─────────────────────────┘
