The first session I gave at Learning Solutions was on tools for creating HTML5-Friendly Multimedia. I started with a few inspirational — maybe aspirational — examples: websites that don’t use encapsulated multimedia and yet are all, in their own ways, stunning experiences. Here they are:
The Wilderness Downtown
All Is Not Lost
Nike Better World
MTA.me (And I think I forgot to mention that you can also “play” the routes by clicking or plucking!)
After a brief overview of some of the challenges facing those working on HTML5 delivery, we talked about some of the best tools you can use to deliver web-standard multimedia. As promised, I’m posting the links here.
One of the questions asked was how to learn more about HTML5. I’m putting together a permanent page on this site to answer that question and more; stay tuned!
Update: Here’s that permanent page on HTML5 resources that I promised.
Update: Thanks to all who blogged and tweeted this session, including Kelly Meeker of Open Sesame and Sumeet Moghle, The Learning Generalist. You guys make me blush.
Two years ago, Allen Interactions showed Zebra publicly for the first time, at ASTD ICE. By sheer dumb luck, I was there. So were Diane Elkins and Desiree Ward, the owners of the company I now work for. I’ve been experimenting with Zebra in its various incarnations ever since, and recently have been working on Zebra resources for instructional designers for our E-Learning Uncovered website.

Don’t you love how that implies that every Tuesday, I’m going to post free stuff? C’mon people, have we just met? That probably won’t happen.
I’m preparing to speak about HTML5 at TechKnowledge and Learning Solutions soon, and so I’ve been reviewing some of the things being written about HTML5 in both the elearning and web development world. One of the criticisms of HTML5 in both worlds continues to be that it doesn’t have all the capability of Flash. This is true.
