Reflective Statement:
This educational game was created using FLASH technology for the course TE 888 Multimedia Production. It uses sound and animation and presents the student with choices that are either correct or wrong and will either allow the student to progress or require the student to “try again,” to attain the correct answer.
Process Statement:
This Flash game uses a lot of animation and ActionScript so as to provide a lot of interaction and feed back. Visualization of the timeline in multiple time dimensions was necessary in order to fully understand how the program works. Great detail was taken to match the exact sequence in which the information within the game is presented to that of the official military process of how to properly conduct Army Physical Training (PT).
Assessment Statement:
I believe this project was very successful in that it allows student soldiers to practice conducting PT while at home alone. Previously the only way to practice conducting the sequence was through the involvement of several other soldiers to make the necessary formations. This educational game is now part of a special NCO Resource CD that is distributed to all students attending the Army BNCOC School at the Kansas Regional Training Institute in Salina, KS. Additionally active duty Sergeant Major’s Academy has requested a copy and has made it available for the entire Army to use as an educational resource. Skills learned: advanced FLASH techniques, layout, design, audio manipulation, process analyses, user analyses and virtualization of real world process.
