Building a dynamic question, from model to engine

As we learn Authorware, we start out building very simple code that is difficult to update. Over time we learn to build smarter code that speeds the development process and is simpler to maintain. This presentation will walk through one version of this learning process using the humble multiple-choice question as an example.

Starting with "my first question model" we will go through a number of iterations, culminating in a single piece of code that can handle a number of variations on "multiple-choice", can utilise external XML or a database, and the code will exist only once in your application, regardless of how many questions are included.

With luck the final iteration will actually use XML or an Access database ... this is dependant on me making time before the conference to get this bit completed :-)

Steve has owned and run the EuroTAAC conference (with help from others) for three years. He also runs Tomorrows Key Limited. Steve is also currently studying for his Masters degree in Multimedia Computing.

Steve has spoken several times at both EuroTAAC and TAAC over the last 3 years. Previous presentations can be found at those web sites, and on the Tomorrows Key Presentations Page.
