Courseware Development

Recently there has been a desire in the courseware industry to move away from traditional animations and page turning Power Point style of computer based training and move into the use of simulation content. Simulation content allows the user to have locational awareness in a much more realistic learning environment. As opposed to flipping from one page to the next, simulation content allows the user to transition from one step to the next on the same page allowing for a smooth transition with full interactivity, not just another canned animation.

Industry Problem:

Secure Deployment of simulation content due to restrictions on mobile code.
File Size of simulation content can be prohibitive to web deployment.
Content Reuse has historically suffered with content built on scripting principles rather than full simulations.
Cost to Develop Simulation Content has been prohibitive in the past.

The DiSTI Solution:

DiSTI offers software tools and services that develop simulation based content at a fraction of the cost that courseware developers have traditionally been accustomed to. Due to the object oriented nature of the DiSTI solution, content can be rapidly developed using assets already available to the courseware developer including photographs and 3D models. This modular reusable approach also allows for content developed for other areas, such as simulation and training programs to be leveraged for use in structured courseware.

Java Code Generation enables courseware developers to have simulation content that complies with DoD Level 2 Mobile Code mandates.
NMCI Certified Content Player allows simulation content developed by DiSTI’s solution to run on the NMCI network.
Built-in Compression for texture resources in simulation courseware content enables smaller file sizes.
Object Oriented Design permits structuring of content such that it is transmittable in smaller network packages.
Leverage existing assets in order to reduce the time and effort of adding simulation content to courseware.

The GL Studio® Advantage:

GL Studio® is the premier Human Machine Interface (HMI) development tool kit for creating end-to-end courseware simulation content. Built on years of industry expertise and developed through close consultation with top courseware developers, GL Studio supports the concepts of blended learning by deploying to the widest possible range of user environments ranging from the web to classroom and even into the field as part of IETMs.

Through the use of GL Studio, users can rapidly create, modify, manage, and enhance courseware applications. GL Studio creates rich interactive objects that become assets to an organization by enabling the reuse of the content in all aspects of a product lifecycle. GL Studio brings high fidelity, photo realistic, and interactive simulations to the mainstream market. Never before has Level 4 courseware been so accessible or affordable. Applications ranging from interactive 3D simulations of hardware for maintenance training to high fidelity simulations of complex controls are not only practical, but already fielded using GL Studio technology.

GL Studio is fully compatible with all industry courseware standards including SCORM™, IMS and IEEE 1484.

SLEP LCAC Blended Solution Courseware

Features

GL Studio content can be rapidly developed using assets already available to the courseware developer, including engineering data, photographs and 3D models. This modular reusable approach also allows for content developed for other areas, such as simulation and training programs to be leveraged for use in structured courseware. The GL Studio open architecture philosophy also promotes compatibility with a wide variety of authoring and development environments.

Java Code Generation

GL Studio Java complies with DoD Level 2 Mobile Code mandates. GL Studio Java code can run in any web browser without the need for a proprietary player or browser plug-in.

NMCI Certified Content Player

GL Studio C++ content can be deployed using the GL Studio Player, which is certified for use on NMCI managed computers.

Built-in Texture
Compression

Built-in texture compression and optimized code generation provides GL Studio users smaller file sizes and faster load times.

Object Oriented Design

GL Studio's Object Oriented design permits modular structuring of content, supporting smaller network packages and facilitating reuse in other applications.

Reusable Content Library

Leverage existing assets with GL Studio's robust content importation capabilities in order to reduce the time and effort of adding simulation content to courseware.
