Quite common for e-learning materials in UK. Have a look at the sample material on mymaths.co.uk (a commercial operation, originally a 'start up' by a group of teachers, now sold to Oxford UP). Front end is tablet usable, the materials themselves are flash based. Does anyone here have any experience of converting materials authored in Flash (.fla files) into html5 using the Adobe software? Views on fidelity and practicality would be most welcome. Most of the adult students I teach have some access to a laptop/PC although the majority prefer stuff they can get on their phone. I shall send the link round and see what happens.

  A practical challenge that Citizen Maths has is that we make quite a lot of use of Scratch as an environment in which learners can try out some of the maths. Currently Scratch needs Flash, though work is going on in the Scratch community to develop an HTML5 player (for more on this see http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/HTML5_Player http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/HTML5_Player). For some background on the use of Scratch in Citizen Maths see https://www.citizenmaths.com/how-to-use-scratch-in-citizen-maths/ https://www.citizenmaths.com/how-to-use-scratch-in-citizen-m... and https://www.citizenmaths.com/using-scratch-in-citizen-maths/ https://www.citizenmaths.com/using-scratch-in-citizen-maths/. I guess it is fair to say that we are more tolerant of Flash in some other parts of Citizen Maths than we otherwise would be. For the time being at least. (PS - hello Keith! It's a small world.)

    Hello Seb : I'll be trying this with some students when we get back. Interesting move to include some programming / making objects.

      Hello Keith. Your views on how it works will be particularly useful, and if "your" college is interested in partnership (https://www.citizenmaths.com/become-a-citizen-maths-partner-organisation/ https://www.citizenmaths.com/become-a-citizen-maths-partner-...) feel free to contact me also.
