I'm in the midst of developing the SWF Activity Module for Moodle 2.5+ and I've come up against some of the issues with Moodle's file manager that have been highlighted here and elsewhere. The only people who are celebrating are web developers and designers who get paid by the hour. Whatever happens, it going to get messy, complicated, time-consuming and frustrating, and stay that way for a while.

I think that's probably the main reason they're narrowing down the number of OS' they're actively developing Flash Player for: it makes more commercial sense to go pure native browser based (HTML+JS+CSS) as the OS market diverges and fragments.įor full HTML5 penetration, we have to wait for users to stop using Windows XP which doesn't support IE9, since IE6, 7 and 8 don't support HTML5 at all. Adobe are currently scaling down their operations due to the financial crisis and general commercial stagnation so we're likely to see rapid progress only in a limited number of projects.

I suspect that Edge won't be marketed as a standalone tool and more than likely it'll get absorbed into Flash Pro and/or Dreamweaver and/or After Effects (Edge has most in common with After Effects). Ironically, I think the video will get played by Flash on most devices except iOS and Windows Phone which are the only OS' that provide native support for h.264. However, since HTML5 is so new and support till patchy, I think a lot of presentations will end up getting converted to h.264 video anyway and then old fashioned HTML forms tacked on as quizzes. There's also conversion tools for Flash animation to JS+HTML5, most notably Adobe's Wallaby and Google's Swiffy. AFAIK, they work in pretty much the same way as Google Web Toolkit (GWT) where developers write code in Java, which is very similar to AS3, and compile it to JS. If you have existing code bases in AS3, it's worth considering cross-compiling them to JS there's a few tools out that can do that though I haven't tried any of them yet. There are other tools that can produce interactive quizzes and presentations in JS with the added bonus that they don't rely on HTML5 (there's still a 30% gap in HTML5 support). For now, it isn't an effective substitute for IDEs like Captivate, Raptivity, Articulate, etc. My question is: how easy will it be to integrate content created in Edge into Moodle? Are people already doing it? Do you see any merit in using Edge?Įdge is still in its initial development stages as a proof of concept. Even non-techie teachers could use it to create interactive content relatively easily. I have no background in web design and know little about HTML, let alone CSS and JS but it's making it quite easy for me to create animations and even interactive content that works both on the desktop and for mobiles. It's designed to be deployed cross-platform, on all OSs, browsers and mobile devices.hooray! I've been playing with it for a couple of weeks now and it's pretty cool.
It creates HTML pages that call JS scripts for animation and interactivity.

Adobe announced a couple of weeks ago that it won't develop Flash for mobile devices any longer (read: Apple won) and will now focus on software that utilises open tech, i.e. I'd like this thread to just act as a general forum discussing Edge and Moodleīy now, many of you would have heard of Adobe's latest pet project Edge.
