Educational Multimedia

“Up skill anywhere, anytime with portable education ”

A typical iPod video pmp can literally store hundreds of hours of video training, and be accessible from anywhere. Athletes in the middle of training can review a video exercise instantly whilst coaches and teachers can give in-context demonstrations for a particular skill, or brush up on new teaching material.

The most recent iPod models (iPod Touch and the iPhone) have the capability to host fully featured multimedia applications.  This means more than simply a list of videos, but rich interfaces that can download new materialfrom the web, record and upload aquired data, display extensive documentation and utilise an extraordinarily simple and intuitive touch screen interface.

If your  people are on the move, we can help you take the education to them.

Designed with accessible, valuable education as the primary goal, our interactive software is optimized solely to those ends.  This means that the interface is simple and elegant (with all information no more than 3 clicks deep in the interface) and the content having real educational benefit. 

The effect of these goals is the increased use amongst end users; when information is valuable and easy to access, it gets used.

Please take a look at a case study: the Athletics Australia STAR DVD for a detailed look at typical software.

Thanks to a massive growth in broadband penetration, online education using multimedia can now be as rich and effective as offline multimedia, and reach a much more extensive audience at a much lower cost than offline distribution.  In addition, an online education experience can be updated incrementally as new information becomes available, and as such can always be new and relevant.

Whilst making the site for the end-user simple an accessible is of paramount, equally important to the overall development and ultimate success of online education are the tools available for content creators to make their content available.

Fasttrak has experience in developing database driven websites with easy to use content management tools, delivering educational information using text, graphic interface, and video based material.

A comprehensive library of information and accompanying media can revolutionise and organisation when it’s fast and easy to do so. This is the purpose of our utilisation tools.  With the three tools, users can create interactive CD’s/DVD’s (Distributable Interactive Tool), printable training sheets (Training Sheet Tool), and easily add new exercises and media to the library (Library Tool) all through simple, intuitive interfaces and all in just minutes.
