When the prestigious "2006 ACT Project of the Year" was awarded at the Australian Institute of Project Management Awards Ceremony in Canberra, Australia, ASFT's Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) developers were there to stand with the entire Royal Australian Navy Submarine Combat Systems project team. The IMI component of the larger project, developed by ASFT, is used in electronic classrooms, where trainers and students simulate necessary maintenance procedures, without costly laboratories. Simulated tasks range from turning switches on and off (with associated indicator lights and other behavior) to Operating System boot sequences and logins to equipment cabling to equipment removal and replacement. IMI modules are able to track student progress, displaying results on instructor panels. By combining Adobe Flash, JavaScript, and XML programming skills with advanced graphic design skills, ASFT was able to build an open platform IMI that is now used at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Rhode Island and the Navy Submarine School in Connecticut. "This has proven to be a successful solution to reduce the Navy's capital investment in laboratory and tactical training equipment."
"Our goal is to become a leading web-based provider of educational content for entrepreneurs ... ASFT has the talent and energy to get this venture off the ground," says the founder of getSuccessful.com. ASFT is producing a series of asynchronous online seminars for the venture featuring animation and voice over, which will form the site's core eLearning content, the "Mini MBA." Budding enterpreneurs will sit back as numbers jump off the balance sheet and into equations, while the narrator walks them through "Accounting Basics." Other business leaders will listen
to the founder of getSuccessful.com virtually walk them
through critical QuickBooks reporting. "ASFT works
closely with the subject matter expert... they are very
responsive and the final product is clear and attractive."
