HOW IT'S DONE - Developing Our Software
The development process requires a team of resources with a variety of technical and operational backgrounds. Indeed, it is multi-disciplinary. To make it truly multimedia, the individual disciplines have to work together, so it is important that the individual team members work together as well.
A wide array of individual talents is required to convert training programs into computer-assisted instruction. Healthcare Training Systems has assembled a team that combine the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to engage in the total development process. They include:
Animators: Animation is a useful way of conveying information, which is particularly suited to CD-ROM and economical with disc space.
Art Directors: Control the look of the program.
Audio Designers/Engineers: Record and manipulate the sound elements and make new ones.
Graphic Designers: Design images, screens, menus, titles, and text layouts.
Interactive Designers: Are specialists in the design of interactive material. They may be responsible for overall scripting and for the look and feel of the program.
Musicians and Song Writers: Create theme music, arrangements and lyrics.
Programmers: Construct interactivity and software effects.
Project Managers: Manage the day-to-day operation of the project and insure that deadlines are met.
Script Writers: Responsible for creating the text used in both audio and textual presentation.
Software Designers: Design the framework for the whole program, and are responsible for disc building.
Sound Technicians: Incorporate and integrate sounds from narration to music.
