Quak Multimedia

We are very proud to announce today the launch of Mercury 1.0.

Mercury is a Flash application that builds rich, SCORM-compliant 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.

Eliminate the need to sign-off content before developing your eLearning. With Mercury, content is all stored externally so that you can change whatever you want, whenever you want, quickly and easily.

Every component comes with a host of settings that allow for lots of different styles and behaviours, so whatever your content you can be sure that it is delivered to your learners in the most relevant and effective way.

Mercury is ideal both for organisations who wish to take their eLearning in-house to cut costs, and for eLearning development studios who want to streamline their course development and maximise efficiency.

For more information and an example demo of the software, please head over to http://www.madewithmercury.com.

In the early hours of this morning we received an email from GameWrapper alerting us to the fact that someone from Uruguay had become the first person to try to steal from us. They tried to steal Quak Wordsearch. They downloaded the wrapper and then ran it on their local machine. In fact, they ran it twice.

Thanks to GameWrapper, they were presented with a message that told them that the request was unauthorised and that they needed to come here in order to play the game legitimately.

GameWrapper not only allows for us to specify who can play the content and who can’t, but it also tracks and records usage around the world and alerts us to any unauthorised attempts to run our content.

To the would-be thief: if you want to play the game, you can either play it here or you can buy a copy to use legitimately. Thanks.

The old Quak Multimedia website has been retired and allowed to enjoy some sunny beaches and golf to make way for this one – a product showcase / project window / development blog.

Here you’ll find news on our latest products and developments,  our past and present projects and thoughts and musings on related subjects.
