NHS Wales - Induction CD Rom
CC4's first major client. Way back in the very early days of
streaming video, we spent all our time looking at ways of
delivering a rich media experience via a modem connection.
The people at Real Media had worked with us at the BBC, and
at the time we considered that Real had the best technology
for video delivery across low bandwidths. This is where SMIL
comes in. SMIL (Simultaneous Multimedia Integration
Language) is a programming language which allows you to
delivery synchronised text and images alongside video using
up miniscule amounts of bandwidth. It's a complicated
programming process which requires particular skills. CC4
developed their use of SMIL to such an extent that Real
Media pronounced us as one of the top three exponents of
SMIL in Northern Europe.
The Research Unit at the NHS Centre of Health Leadership had
seen CC4Web's SMIL presentations and were keen to develop a
learning product across the NHS network. This early work led
into a productive partnership which produced a number of
CD-ROMs, including the flagship induction CD-ROM which has
informed much of our later work with its use of video, text,
and graphics to induce new staff into the NHS in Wales.
This was done bilingually, using video with voice-overs
where the subjects of the video weren't able to deliver in
Welsh and English. The whole disc, which includes over 2000
(?) documents and links is also available in either
language. This is an excellent example of a comprehensive
Induction package, which has many applications for most
businesses, particularly for those operating in more than
one language.
Those charged with delivering training across many different
geographic locations, and who want to show immediate,
exponential budget savings, may well be interested to know
more about this set of products....
