All preview and exported Learning Objects run in Adobe Flash Player.
Pedagogue presents your Learning Objects using Adobe Flash Player 7 or above. You can preview your content directly in Pedagogue or export it as SCORM 1.3 conformant content package(s) for use within a virtual learning environment (the content packages are exported as zip files).
The exported Learning Objects can be directly plugged into a SCORM 1.3 compliant virtual learning environment such as Moodle 1.7. The Learning Objects can also be unpackaged and hosted on a web server or burned to a CD-ROM.
See 'Software Requirements' below for more information on the Flash Player
The Learning Objects are exported as content packages in the form of "zip" files. These zip files contain all of the files need to run the Learning Objects.
Note: It is important when unpackaging the content packages, that you maintain the file structure that is inside the zip file to ensure the Learning Objects run correctly.
To unpackage the Learning Objects you may need to use a program such as WinZip. See 'Software Requirements' below for more information on WinZip and handling zip files.
