Hi,
Subject says it. The request is non-commercial, but for a
community-based project. I've started creating multimedia learning
content and would prefer not to do it alone.
I'm using Flash because it should play on the web and there one has no
choice but Flash. I'm thinking of also quickly supporting an HTML
solution with Flash only as the carrier of the audio/video and giving
the "cue points" (time info embedded in the audio/video that controls
actions like animations). However, anything using Javascript libraries
is much more resource intensive and much less usable on non-web devices
than Flash, so I'm not sure... the planned course-technology is
technology independent, content in XML and the player in "whatever", but
this is just a plan and for now I concentrate on producing some content
at all. So far it's not much, but writing a script alone (what to say,
what to show, and when) takes quite a long time. Of course, doing an "on
the fly" screencast with voice recording would be much faster, but those
things are way too long for the content (with all the slow typing and
mistakes and pauses) and not "nice enough".
See signature, current content is just an example. No video included yet
because I've just shared hosting and bandwidth is an issue, besides, for
the current examples it isn't necessary or all that useful...
So I like to be as open source and pro standard as possible, but I'd
also like to make use of available technology, therefor for now it's
Flash at the core. But writing scripts is even more necessary - what
should be developed? Also, Flex (Adobe) is free so writing a player for
those XML-based course format ideas is possible for anyone. Actionscript
is Javascript, basically (but the class libs are a lot different of course).
Anyone interested in producing learning content, for general topics
(e.g. Internet Protocol stack) as well as specific ones (The Gimp
screencasts - how to edit pictures or create web buttons, etc.) or help
creating the web-infrastructure for the product... well I don't expect
much but I'll keep asking people anyway :-)
In the OpenSUSE forums my post were deleted because they claimed I had
violated the no-ads policy... well, I'm trying to get a community
project off the ground, how is that commercial SPAM??? The site I
started DOES talk about money, but I recommend to actually READ before
complaining. This is a hobby project of mine, my business is completely
different and not even linked from there.

Thanks,
Michael
