For some time, My Learning have been monitoring the staggering increase in video content used within the platform. We think it's brilliant, and this is mainly due to the fact that media management and support in My Learning has always been a particular focal point.
We're also astutely aware how many users are now using iPads with our software, which of course is fantastic!We all know that iPad's don't play Flash content.... and our video player is flash based!
Not any more! - In tomorrow's update, we'll be releasing an intelligent video player that will change itself according to the needs of the user. So, if you're using an iPad - you'll get the HTML5 player with MP4 videos. If you're a desktop PC or laptop, you'll get the HTML4 version. Flash will only be used as a last resort.
So, this means that in My Learning - you'll also be able to download your videos in MP4 format and use them elsewhere!
My Learning will be at the annual E2BN conference again for their 3rd year, exhibiting the latest and greatest version of their groundbreaking Learning Platform. Alan Sawyers (Technology Director) will be providing an interactive 40 minute exposé on how your school can make use of tablet PC's from £164 to provide access to all sorts of educational content. For further information on this free session, visit: http://conference.e2bn.org/seminar.php#anchor57.
The release date for version 19 of the My Learning Suite (entitled 'Dione') has been set at 4pm on June 15th. This date is slightly later than the team had hoped, due to the addition of some last minute features ahead of schedule.
