Magic Studio

By the end of today Magic Studio will have a new look home page and personal dashboard that greatly improves the experience for users.  Our team has also been working on a host of new features that make drag and drop interactives more flexible and improve the navigational flow of the whole service. Specific items updated in this release are:

• Magic Studio is now fully shibboleth enabled for learning platform or content authentication needs
• A new two-column layout for library and dashboard has been created giving more room to see the content and its supporting information
• If  Scorm is enabled for your Learning Platform, your LP users have the option to download Magic content as a regular zip file or as a Scorm object
• An option for audio messages to be played back in drag and drop activities has been added. This allows authors to use their own recorded audio feedback messages as positive and negative responses to drag and drop interaction.
• We have added an option for the autoplay of audio and video in hotspots in all interactives. This will make for a more immediate and engaging experience and removes the need for users to click anything when a hotspot is opened.
• Numerous usability and browser issues have also been addressed to make Magic Studio even more intuitive to use.
