Digital Education Strategies at The Chang School

Technical Requirements

Most educational media developed by the DES team is based on Adobe Flash technology. To be able to use it, students must have the Adobe Flash Player plugin installed in their browser. The plugin can be downloaded for free from the Adobe website.

Modifiable vs Unmodifiable

The main difference between modifiable and unmodifiable educational media is in the way that it can be reused in other courses. You can use modifiable media over and over again without changing its apperiance by simply replacing the content. Unmodifiable media is custom made for a particular course or module and cannot be reused without significant changes to its design.
