Educator
The idea behind the “Educator” project was to create one flash file that could parse any XML file (within predefined parameters) and with this data it could create a variety of flash education modules, without doing the actual flash development every time.
Almost all features can be controlled with attributes inside the XML file; from simple things like the URL of the background to more complex stuff like the type and functionality of the questions. And of course all the content is supplied in text format within the XML file, and the “Educator” from there on loads up any images, builds data tables and more, all in real-time.
Each “Educator” exercise can contain a series of pages, which is called a case, or even many series of pages each on a separate case, called a module. The pages themselves can contain simple text, images, rollovers and many types of questions, all in different combinations.
The “Educator” flash file was created on a modular basis, so each element would control it’s own functions and the core would only deal with generic functions. This way it is easy to introduce new elements with new functions or disable any of the existing elements without limiting the application from functioning.
