iPad Support in Chorus R1 037

Version R1 037 brings some significant enhancements for iPad and iPhone:

  • Users can move mobile elements with the finger on Drag&Drop exercises
  • Users can move the slider with the finger on Slider exercises
  • Users can go to next/previous page with the finger (horizontal swipe)

To support this, courses must be updated to MTR R1 037. You can view a sample course on MOS Cetner named "Reference Test (Mobile)".

Note also that the administration interface of MOS Chorus works on iPad.

New CSS features in IE9

Taking back the test course we made for iPhone, we can see Internet Explorer 9 coming closer to Firefox and Safari regarding CSS support. Below we can note rounded corners and transparency on the background color of a glossary entry: 

The floating outline with rounded corners, transparency and shadow and rounded corners on the toggable area:

In 140% zoom, we can see the preciseness of SVG images:

Still IE9 is lagging behind other browsers. We can regret the following missing features:

  • Text shadow
  • CSS transitions (for light and smooth animations)
  • CSS gradients

SCORM Communication with Remote Content (RTWS)

MOS R1 036 will offer the ability to import and launch LETSI RTWS courses. This new specification allows a communication of SCORM data between an LMS and a SCO located on a different server. This may bring new perspectives to content providers.

There is a tutorial named Remote SCORM Communication (RTWS) on MOS Center.
