From 1998-2001, I worked at DiscoverWare, Inc - a Calgary-based eLearning company with customers around North America, Europe and Australia. The “Nova” product line was a rich-media software simulation learning management system, based on 3-tier client/server communication. I built the client-side data and user activity tracking layers, which then communicated with a client user interface layer, and a server for long-term storage of user progress data.

Screenshots of menus and content
Main menu - with status indicator to show content you’ve already viewed.
Content player - with simulated screens to show how to use the software, as well as guided interaction to show you where various tools and menus are.
There were several types of quiz questions for self-assessment, including true/false, drag-and-drop, matching, and simulation. Feedback for each question or step was provided immediately.
All content was fully searchable - combined with the bookmark and history features to give people full control over how they access the content, as the product was designed as a just-in-time learning tool.
