Lore of the Land CLIENT Fraynework (self-initiated) PROJECT DESCRIPTION Lore of the Land is a CD-ROM based 'interactive documentary' with a supporting website development. The CD-ROM explores relationship with land from both an indigenous and non-indigenous perspective. The CD-ROM has five pathways; Land Issues, Experiences, Indigenous Culture, Discovery and Understanding. Each pathway has a number of interactive levels combining a variety of rich media resources including video clips, timelines, maps, audio and text. A key feature of the CD-ROM is an electronic journal which allows the learner to collect various resources as well as respond to specific questions and track their overall experience. Lore of the Land is a vast collection of resources which have direct application to the key learning areas of: The Arts, English and Studies of Society and the Environment. The interactive integrates the resources into a series of sequences designed to assist the learner in gaining insight and understanding of the land and its inhabitants. SOFTWARE USED Lore of the Land was developed using Director 7. The interface was created using Photoshop and Freehand 7 with some content elements being created using Flash 4. All programming was handled in Director using Lingo. Video was edited with Media 100 and compressed using Media Cleaner. The accompanying website was developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Perl.
