Active Math - Alberta Learning 40+ modules for Grade 10 and 11 students. Produced in English and French, these interactive modules help students interactively learn trigonometry, calculus, geometry and other subjects covered within the grade 10 and 11 curriculum. Many are video-based, containing interviews with professionals who use these skills every day on the job. This provides a very important link to career planning and a practical application of math principles that students can relate to. All were produced using Director and Quicktime and are CD-ROM based.

Alberta Agriculture - Farm Safety "Lost on the Farm" is an interactive CD-ROM for kids, sponsored by Alberta Agriculture, TransAlta Utilities and Nova Corporation. This is one of the more "fun" projects we've worked on, since it's completely animated and features on screen characters who talk to each other. The disk features one day in the life of "Cyber Sam," a spaceman who crash lands just outside a farm in Western Canada. During the search for Cyber's "lost crystals," the user goes through a series of puzzles, or games, in which they are required to test their knowledge of farm safety.

Chemistry - Alberta Learning High school students in Alberta have a number of hi-tech methods of learning through the use of CD-ROM or web-based instructional learning programs. We developed three modules that link to currently produced programs developed for the chemistry department of Alberta Learning. The Periodic Table interactively provides just about any information you would ever need on the elements, while the glossaries let students look up words from within other programs and link to a video-based explanation.

TransAlta Utilities This is an internal in-depth training program. The program allows the user to get up to speed at their own pace on rate structure and billing procedures. Simple visual representations and animation are some of the ways to explain complex ideas in a simple way. There are exercises built into the program that allow the system administrator to check on the user's knowledge of the information. Media One developed the structure based upon TransAlta's course content.

Transit A prototype developed for Calgary Transit, this program concentrates on signals training for new hires. Through the use of interactive screens of light rail transit trains in a variety of situations, the student can make decisions on what speed to adopt based upon conditions. There is a testing module that grades the participant on their knowledge of signals. By dragging one of a number of train cars into position, the student can simulate real situations they might encounter on the job.

Presenter-Pro online workshop "Presenter-Pro" is a proprietary, video-based, online training program for business and sales executives to help them develop and deliver more effective, persuasive presentations. It has been developed over ten years from a variety of sources, it has been trained in a number of major corporations. The worshop consists of eight modules - the 8 Habits of Highly Persuasive Presenters - and comes with downloadable PDF files for additional information.
