320583 PROTOTYPE of LG e-learning

Important note: I will be using LG as a project name, however it does not imply in any way any association with the Korean electronics giant. I want everybody to be clear because some had inquired about it. NO RELATION. LG in it's simplest form is just a quiz-like interactive learning software. LG asks a question and user responses. The asking and responses are done in a number of possible formats: text, graphical, video, or voice. If the response is voice (it's established beforehand what kind of response to expect) LG will record it for a specified and limited amount of time. The scope of this PROTOTYPE PROJECT is only limited to voice response. In relation to my other project (LG e-learning website), which is actually the same project, I will simplify my requirements so that it will only include limited functionality and serve as a demo-version/prototype. It will serve to demonstrate the following aspects: - It displays exercise questions and records student's answer in an efficient manner. No noticeable delay in between. i.e. At the end of a question the program will automatically turn to recording mode and instantly ready to record the student's answer. It would help to have an "ON AIR" red-light that comes on the screen to signal that recording has started. At the end of the time limit the "ON AIR" light goes out and recording is stopped. - How well you design the interface. Rule of thumb, simple is better. So a 7-or-67-year-old can get right on it with little difficulties. - Ample space between items, big buttons for use with touch screen interface. - Use of color to give a nice consistent theme throughout the design. At the same time use it sparingly, or in other words, only when you want to signify something or draw attention to a certain item/part of the screen. Remember, it's education, contemporary/contrast (as opposed to classic/old, subdued, dimmed), clean straightforward letters, bright (white background is ALMOST a must). - How well you utilize the screen real-estate especially when it comes to the teacher grading screen. As a mentioned in the other project's post, the teacher screen must be very efficent and highly functional to accomodate the workload of grading a vast number of students' exercise. As this is just a prototype you can just mock-up some icons and explain what they do (better yet, self-explanatory) without having to program anything into it. However (YOU MUST PROGRAM) the listening to students' answers and be able to assign a right/wrong tag to it MUST BE DONE and be fully working. Again here, I will see how fast your code is responding as such that, human-operator is the limiting factor as far as speed is concerned. - Anything else beyond the above-mentioned will be left upon your discretion as well as creativity as seasoned programmers tend to incorporate their signature into and take pride in their work. I trust that you will deliver above and beyond expectation. Happy Bidding FOR PROTOYPE ONLY. PS: Please read my other posting “LG e-learning website” as I mentioned some websites that fall along the Website-That-I-Like category. And also to get the bigger picture beyond the prototype. Needless to say, if I like your prototype I will choose you to work on the bigger project. Please be also reminded that I am heavily inclined towards modular development. So I would re-post the project so that it would be broken down to sub-systems as the following: 1. Student Registration/Records 2. Exercise Authoring 3. Teacher Review/Grading Etc... Cheers, David.-
