iPad Compatible Courseware and Content

The iPad provides an excellent way for people to consume eLearning. It is a mobile device that supports the vision of easy and fast access to relevant courseware for a whole spectrum of users. When the iPad is put together with the correct tools and course content, in can become a powerful addition to your companies training arsenal and can cause rapid increases in productivity.

However, there is a major drawback to the current versions of iPad, that being that it does NOT support Adobe Flash based objects, which is a common usage in the majority of courseware. Apple’s publicly stated policy is that Flash is power hungry and buggy code, and that it will soon be replaced by HTML5.

JZero have stepped forward to address this issue by providing two new services to support companies wanting to utilise the iPad for eLearning. The first service is an “iPad Compatibility Test” which will test your course for a number of known iPad issues. The second service is an “iPad Course Conversion” which will convert the course to work seamlessly with the iPad.

iPad Compatibility Test

This inexpensive service provides the confidence you need to be able to use your course on the iPad, or alternatively the information you need on compatibility issues found.

We will run the course through our iPad testing process, which will look out for any anomalies that will stop the course working with iPad. Besides from any obvious Flash objects, it will look for any other known items that could cause issue, such as hidden third party plug-in, JavaScript failures, invalid DOM references:- anything that could stop the proper functioning of the course, including the course display or recording of course usage and scores.

In addition to the test report, you will receive a quotation of what costs will be involved in JZero carrying out the “iPad Course Conversion” for that course should you wish for us to do this work for you. Alternatively you may use the report as a basis to do the work yourselves.

You can take on this work yourself, or you can utilise the in-house expertise and the low costs of JZero India Development Centre to do this for you.

With this service we will go through the results of the iPad Compatibility Test and step by step transform your course into an iPad Compatible Course.

Technically speaking we take your SCORM course and we convert Flash video and audio into native HTML5 objects, and we will convert interactive flash into HTML canvas objects, making them fully compatible with the Apple Safari iPad browser. Additionally we will correct any JavaScript or third party plug-in anomalies.

The amount of work involved will depend on the amount of incompatible objects and the complexity of those objects; however at the end you will have a fully compatible iPad course allowing your course full usability on iPad at a highly efficient price.
