MDM-CAP
For the latest information regarding MDM-CAP, please contact the product's
client, Gil Taran.
MDM-CAP stands for multimedia decision making - content authoring platform.
The vision of the platform is to allow novice case study authors to
quickly create professional-looking, multimedia-based, and interactive
case studies. However, the authoring platform can be tweaked to generically
create a variety of different content types. Authors will be able to
create the cases with no programming ability and no graphical design
expertise required. Using a set of pre-defined case templates, a case
study author can use the tool to add exisiting edited multimedia content
into a case study and create a variety of interactive elements in the
case connecting their content.
Non-proprietary development artifacts can be found under the artifacts
link to the left.
Screen shots from the authoring tool are displayed below as of October
2008. Follow-on teams will continue to enchance the product and add
more feautures.

The welcome screen for the case study authoring tool. Authors
can create a new case study, open an existing study, or view a
short tutorial video if they are new to the product.

| The character creation screen for the case study
authoring tool. Authors can define the people involved in the case.
This includes biography information and an image. For certain case
study types the author selects which characters a learner can select
to role-play. |
Screen shots from the viewing tool are displayed below as of October
2008. Follow-on teams will add support to the viewing platform to display
additional authoring capabilities such as an organization chart.

| The case study viewing tool. This view shows a
typical scene from a case study. The learner has already walked
through several scenes (similar to chapters in a book), and has
been presented information and supporting multimedia and must make
a choice. Based on the choice, the learner will be taken to one
of several scenes with different outcomes. |
A follow-on team is also envisoned to design, build, and deploy a distribution
platform that will support distribution of case studies over the internet
or via a company's intranet.
