The brief required the design of a range of engaging interactive games for classroom use, using authentic French voices. The design challenge was to maximise learning in creative ways using our expertise in interactive technology. As well as providing education through reinforcement, the games provide teachers with a tool for classroom assessment. The end product is a successful, dynamic resource that can be used time and time again.

Well a few days ago I posted about a project we had been commissioned to make an interactive CDROM and I mentioned that its wasn’t so much as just commissioned, as well into production. So I decided I would follow up that post with a screen cast of how its looking so far and some of the functionality.

Some of the features we have developed especially for this disc are the photo gallery, light box and interactive map. Also worth noting this is our first flurry with a totally flash disc in a Director shell. We have previously use flash elements and components in Director but this disc takes that to a whole new level and as you can see, really looks good for it.Hope you enjoy the preview!
