Research Tutorial
This is an e-learning application set that Randy developed as a staff member at NAIT. It consists of a player (Adobe Flex web application) and an editor (Adobe AIR desktop app).
The project is for the Library at NAIT who want to build some online lessons (The player) for teaching students how to do research. The team came up with a plan of how each "slide" could be populated with either a video (streaming or progressive), camtasia capture, image or interactive Flash swf along with bulleted (or not) text. This defined the dataset structure. Next up: an AIR application that gave the librarians an easy way to build the xml dataset. This way they could easily develop and update the tutorial.
The project went really smoothly and Flex 4 was a pleasure to work with. RobotLegs combined with the MXML workflow is a winner! The application also uses the new TextFlow object along with a rich text editor for a convenient (and much cleaner!) way of serializing/deserializing formatted text. Thanks to Stephen Horvath's for his Simple TLF Text Editor library.
