HTML5 and eLearning

[dhinckley]

What technology is the future of elearning? and how do you account for legacy and unsupported systems?  This article provides some insight: http://leanforward.com/elearning-development-and-html5/

Thanks for the link. I agree that HTML5 is helping a lot. The new
Mozilla smartphone, of which I've so far seen only one, is based on
it. JavaScript has to pick up a lot of the slack, as the HTML
controller, versus ActionScript inside of Flash.

I work in eLearning as an instructor. Sometimes our students use a
remote desktop client and we do everything on the server, bypassing
the client-side browser. Other times we're in-browser.

I also hold out hope for the dedicated eLearning appliance one might
call it. Think of video arcades with custom peripherals or booth-like
environments. At the higher end, think of flight simulators. I can
well imagine a large room full of "learning machines" (like a gym)
where each is a custom experience.

Similar to radar simulators used in marine navigation training.

The Sugar Labs developers who support One Laptop Per Child are also
developing HTML5 applications, including versions of our Sugar
education software. I expect to be able to use this technology in our
Replacing Textbooks program (link below).
