Mercury supports a great number of interactive and customisable elements that come together to create a rich learning environment for learners. Video, audio, animations, drag and drops, click and reveals, images, quizzes and assessments are all on offer.

Included in the price are 12 months’ updates and enhancements as and when they are made available.

Interested? Head over to madewithmercury.com for a live demo.

The portal isn’t yet taking subscribers as there’s still some work to do on the resources themselves, but with the portal now completed it made sense to unveil it for three important reasons:

1. It gives people who are interested in what we’re doing (and Google Analytics shows there’s a fair few of you out there!) an opportunity to take a look and to get excited about what’s coming.
2. It allows people to register for the newsletter and be kept up to date with resource progress and more importantly, the portal’s launch.
3. Finally, it allows the search engines to start indexing the site so that when we do launch, potential users will be able to find us.

Registrations on the forums are welcome to all those who are interested in the portal or who wish to ask questions or provide feedback. Naturally, the portal will also serve as a support forum when we launch.

For more information either check out the launch post at Quak Multimedia or check the Mercury website directly, where there is even a demo of the software showcasing some of its capabilities.

Mercury is viewed as a live product that will evolve and adapt over time with the needs of our clients, so this won’t be the last time I mention Mercury on this blog I’m afraid!

As well as the software itself, we’ll also be offering a development service where we will either help clients develop their eLearning or develop it all ourselves for an extremely competitive rate.

Any questions? Feel free to ask.

Mercury is a Flash application that builds rich eLearning from simple XML instructions. Everything about the eLearning can be defined quickly and easily, including the resource’s language(s), navigation layout, number of pages, content structure, sessions, activities, assessments, videos, photos, audio, animations and text.

Course material can be presented in an almost infinite number of ways, with total control over the look and feel and the ability to select from a wide range of options when it comes to functionality – all without typing a single line of code. In fact, you don’t even need to own Flash to make a resource in Mercury.

The product will be launched initially with two pricing options – one for a single use license and one for unlimited use. Further options may be possible at a later time depending on feedback.

I’ll post an update when the site is live, but any enquiries before that time are welcome.
