CHAPTER 19
Creating E-learning Content
Macromedia Flash MX 2004 and Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 learning interactions
help you create interactive online (e-learning) courses that run in Flash. Using the Flash learning
interactions has many benefits:
• Anyone with a Flash-enabled web browser can use the instructional content you create.
• You can customize the interface to meet your needs. Because you are using Flash, you can
create high-quality interfaces that load quickly and look the same on different platforms.
• You can easily add interactions to your online course with the Flash Learning Interaction
components, which provide a simple interface for entering data without writing code.
• Each individual Flash learning interaction can send tracking information to a server-side
learning management system (LMS) that complies with the Aviation Industry
CBT Committee (AICC) protocol or Shareable Content Object Reference Model
(SCORM) standards.
• Additionally, the quiz templates track cumulative results from a sequence of interactions and
can pass them along to the LMS using an enhanced data tracking functionality that conforms
to either AICC or SCORM standards.
