With Adobe announcing that it will stop developing Flash player for mobile devices, many eLearning developers are left wondering how to get their audio/visual content ported to HTML so they can support smart phones and tablets. This is a constantly and rapidly evolving area, so following are some technologies you should be aware of as you perform your own research and testing:
- Articulate Storyline: Convert PowerPoint-to-HTML instead of Flash
- Adobe Wallaby: Convert Flash FLA files to HTML
- PopcornJS.org: Timeline-based tool for creating HTML5 audio/visual
- Adobe Rome: Like Popcorn, but from Adobe instead of Mozilla
- Dreamweaver Timeline: Dreamweaver has an HTMLÂ timeline tool
- Jquery and CSS: Custom programming of content
- Demo showing audio and text using HTML5
