How Does it Work?
 Central to AI cdCreate is the main management screen where authors (depending on privileges) can create new 'CD-ROMs' (although they could be downloadable executables or run on the web):
This screen shows three main working areas – In Progress work (right-hand side), personal courses, presentations or CD-ROMs private to the logged-in author (lower left) and Master/Approved courses, presentations and CD-ROMs (top-left) which are shared by all authors but can only be altered by super-authors.
Presentations are brought from the left hand lists to the right hand list for editing/creation. Within the In Progress list, screens/slides or sections can be renamed, re-ordered, edited, deleted, viewed or printed.
Authors who have access to this screen may or may not be granted permission to move their private/in-progress courses to the Master list (where they can be made live on a web site for instance). If an author does not have permissions, they can request approval from a super-author.
When an author wishes to create or modify a CD-ROM), they simply select the slide and click ‘Add’ or ‘Edit’. Creating and Editing Your Content
 The edit screen is a real powerhouse feature of AI eLearning, where users can intuitively drag and drop, resize and ‘layer’ any number or combination of objects on the screen. Objects can be any of the following:
- Text*
- Table*
- Bullet Lists*
- Image
- Buttons – to jump to other sections of the CD-ROM or download PDFs etc
- Flash Movie
- Video
- Audio File
- Fully configurable bar, pie, stacked and 3D charts
|
|
* Where these objects are fully WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) and can themselves include images, lists, layout/mark-up, hypertext links to web sites and email links.
|
When your editing is complete, you can preview any updates before committing the changes back to the centrally managed database.
Please note: As a full web and multimedia agency, we can provide any type of pre-made content including Flash movies, 2D and 3D graphics, audio and video to assist in the construction of your content. This rich-media content significantly impacts your audience by holding the interest and participation. Publishing Your Presentation/CD-ROM
Once the content is complete you have several options for publication all of which take place with a single button click.
You can make the presentation live online, export it as an executable or zip (for downloading from a web site) and/or place the finished product on CD-ROM. Any of these can be secured with a license key solution such that access to the content has to be purchased by your audience.
When published online, the user has to login and may need to enter their license key to access the material (such that user's access/progress can be fully tracked).
If the product is exported as a standalone executable then it can be supplied with licensing, auto-content updates, installer and auto-run facility.
