Case Study Simdia Video Caption

Simdia are used to model conversations between one or more characters as they explore some point or concept relevant to the instruction. Simdias enable the content development team to use spoken examples and realistic dialog interactions, in the form of html flash video files, to expand upon new concepts.

Note: Simdia case studies are presented in wide width layout only. When creating the Sim Dialog Video Caption pages, a non-video, static image version must also be created which will play back if the user turns off the video play back, or when a user is in 508 play back mode.

There are five main components to the Case Study Simdia template:

• An introduction which outlines a scenario, and an accompanying static graphic
• A video of the dialog (and companion static images of the dialog for non-video playback)
• Buttons to skip or autoplay the simulated dialog
• Buttons to open the child-page questions

Supported Graphic Functionality

• Background Graphics
• Static Graphics
• Animated Graphics (Animated GIFs)
• Html Flash video files

Note: Modifying the text in dialog items (by either adding, removing, or editing the dialog text) will result in video files that no longer match the text on the page. You can either add your own video files to correct this, or use static images in place of video to ensure that the edited dialog text relates to the image or video on the page.
