ACCORDENT COMES TO AUSTRALIA...
"When I went to school...
it was a very special occasion when we were allowed to watch a
film during class. They were usually fairly deadly 16mm
documentaries on things of no relevance to children's lives.
Yet it was a always a special kind of noisy hush that
descended... as the curtains were drawn and the old crackling
sound track enabled our half-hour passage to another world..."
With the introduction of Accordent's amazing
Media Management System in 2007, students (from every
profession) have been able to get excited at work - and be paid
for it! (New version 2.5 released November 2008)

Rich Media or
Synchronised Electronic Media is an online information delivery
phenomenon only now coming of age in Australia. It involves live
or post-presentation video, fully synchronised to PowerPoint,
Flash and other image formats. This can include secure,
pre-scheduled and monitored live organisation-wide broadcasts.
Dependant on high-speed broadband for delivery, prior to 2007 its
use has been principally in intranet and limited internet
presentation delivery within large organisations.
8Mbit/s broadband has now been made available to all (and 24Mbit/s
to many) in Australia with the
launch of Telstra's new ADSL1 and ADSL2+ services. Arriving
soon after high-speed mobile services came online late last
year, 2007 should see a huge
increase in the deployment of Rich Media presentation and
eLearning delivery. Organisations
requiring instant deployment of presentations by senior
professionals are finding Rich Media builds on the way live
presentations happen already.
The use of PowerPoint projected from a room based PC or the
presenter's own laptop, is almost universally accepted as a
must-have aid in lecture delivery. In most situations, video is
also always present or optionally available. A Rich Media
presentation is one where video, audio, PowerPoint, HTML sites,
whiteboards and other visual elements are seamlessly linked into
a cohesive package suitable for live or post-event web delivery.
Whatever the on-site audience sees live, the off-site audience can see
as well in real time or with an automatic or manually added
chapter index immediately post-presentation. In
addition, Email The Presenter, live audience polling, linked
downloads, scheduling, certification and other features are available
with some software.
The recent rapid growth of personal video presentation methods
such as You Tube and Video Blogging would suggest the next
generation - synchronised Rich Media presentations - will
achieve mainstream acceptance this year.
The Rich Media online delivery method is suited to those with something complex and detailed to say. To the
professional required to give compelling presentations regularly
with a reach beyond those who can attend locally.
As well, those needing to make presentations involving a visual
element such as for example an artist presenting their work
online, in tandem with a gallery opening. Or to a government
parliamentary sitting where every videotaped word - and
PowerPoint slide - is important...
Accordent make by far the most powerful and easiest to use modular
Rich Media software available today.
