#ATUTOR NAVIGATION UPDATE#
Developers should update their development environment to point to the new location.
#ATUTOR NAVIGATION ANDROID#
Users can now use ATutor on their iPhone, Blackberry, or their Android mobile device.Ĭode Repository and Language database moved: The ATutor source code repository has now been moved to. Mobile Theme: The first version of the ATutor mobile theme is now included with the ATutor public source code. The Content Navigation menu has now been themed, so theme developers can modify the look and functionality of the menu in their themes. Theme Refinements: Lots of adjustments have been made to the seven themes included with ATutor to better support a wide range of browsers, and to better support right-to-left languages. Support for Big Files: Previous limits on the size of files that can be imported into ATutor, including backups, content cartridges, and content packages, have been raised significantly to provide better support for larger multimedia content. All content can be packaged and moved from course to course, moved in and out of the AContent repository, or imported into other systems that support Common Cartridge content interoperability standards. Or visa versa, remote primary content (such as a YouTube video) can be matched with local adaptations of the video, such as a transcript, or perhaps an audio alternative.
For example, a local video in an ATutor course can include adaptations from remote resources, such as a sign language alternative hosted on YouTube.
#ATUTOR NAVIGATION UPGRADE#
The upgrade includes additional support for mp3, mp4, and mov media formats when using the ATutor tag, allowing these formats to play in ATutor without the need for plugins (only Flash is required).Ĭommon Cartridge & AccessForAll Refinements: Further improvements to the first Common Cartridge with AccessForAll implementation has been included, now supporting mixed local and remote primary and secondary content. But, read on for a list of the significant changes.įlowplayer Upgrade: The media player included with ATutor has been upgraded to Flowplayer Version 3.2.4. If you are using ATutor 2.0 and everything is working okay for you, you probably do not need to upgrade. This release is primarily a maintenance release, fixing a few bugs, refining some functionality, and extending a few features.
