Introduction The thirst for learning, upgrading technical skills and applying the concepts in real life environment at a fast pace is what the industry demands from IT professionals today. However busy work schedules, far-flung locations, and unavailability of convenient time-slots pose as major barriers when it comes to applying the concepts into realism. And hence the need to look out for alternative means of implementation in the form of laddered approach. The above truly pose as constraints especially for our students too! With their busy schedules, it is indeed difficult for our students to keep up with the genuine and constant need for integrated application which can be seen live especially so in the field of IT education where technology can change on the spur of a moment. Well, technology does come to our rescue at such times!! Keeping the above in mind and in tune with our constant endeavour to use Technology in our training model, we at Aptech have thought of revolutionizing the way our students learn and implement the concepts using tools themselves by providing a live and synchronous eProject learning environment! So what is this eProject? eProject is a step by step learning environment that closely simulates the classroom and Lab based learning environment into actual implementation. It is a project implementation at your fingertips!! An electronic, live juncture on the machine that allows you to

Practice step by step i.e. laddered approach. Build a larger more robust application. Usage of certain utilities in applications designed by user. Single program to unified code leading to a complete application. Learn implementation of concepts in a phased manner. Enhance skills and add value. Work on real life projects. Give a real life scenario and help to create applications more complicated and useful. Mentoring through email support.

How do we start accessing the Sample eProject? The students at the centre are expected to complete this eProject and send complete documentation with source code within the time allotted to eprojects@aptech.ac.in Looking forward to a positive response from your end!!

Objectives of the project The Objective of this program is to give a sample project to work on real life projects. These applications help you build a larger more robust application. The objective is not to teach you the software s but to provide you with a real life scenario and help you create basic applications using the tools. You can revise the topics before you start with the project. These programs should be done in the Lab sessions with assistance of the faculty if required. It is very essential that a student has a clear understanding of the subject. Kindly get back @ eprojects@aptech.ac.in in case of any doubts regarding the application or its objectives.

Technology: 1. CorelDraw / Illustrator. 2. Photoshop. 3. Premiere 4. Sound Forge 5. Flash 6. Dreamweaver.

Execution Plan: Developing a full-fledged multimedia title involves a rich mix of skills ranging from project management and interface design to sound preparation and programming. Although multimedia tools make it possible for one person to perform every task, few people have the combination of technical, artistic, and management skills necessary to fill every role well. As a rule, multimedia titles are best developed collaboratively by teams with a range of expertise.

Roles: Writer/Content expert The writer researches the content of the title, helps storyboard it, and then writes all of the text. Sometimes a content expert works with the writer and visualizer to help communicate the right information. Editor/Proofreader The editor reviews all of the written material onscreen for interest, clarity, conciseness, and grammatical correctness. The editor also checks that the text works well with the other media. A proofreader polishes the final work. Interface designer / Visualizer The interface designer establishes a consistent design for the title by specifying what the navigation system looks like, where information and media appear onscreen, and what fonts colors, and graphical design elements to use. Illustrator/Animator The illustrator creates the graphical parts of the title, such as the screen elements and buttons. The illustrator also prepares the drawings. Scanned photographs, and animations that are specified in the storyboard. Audio editor and video / technician The technician edit the voice / video, effects for the audio / visual clip. This work typically involves converting traditionally recorded sounds and shoot the original videotape to a digital format, that a computer can handle. Web Designer / author / scriptwriter / Programmer The final work will be done by the web designer. He will assemble all the media together to get the final out put. He should use any web designing tools/software to do the web designing. Team Leader The Leader verifies that every aspect of the title works correctly. An expert leader

looks at every word, screen, and media effect to ensure the quality. The leader also runs the title on different hardware configuration for the testing purpose.

Duration: As mentioned in the schedule.

Standard plans: 1. While development it must be noted that the application must be safe, stable and should be capable in handling multiple users. 2. Your application must possess the following important characteristics: a. Transaction atomicity b. Consistency c. Integrity d. Durability e. Security f. Reliability g. Scalability h. Availability i. Testing of the application must be done after every phase. i. First phase is the Unit testing. ii. In the second phase we need to do an integration testing of all the modules together. iii. At the end of the project after final delivery acceptance testing has to be done with the client to figure out whether all the clients expectations are fulfilled or not. j. After Testing phase all documentation must be in place and the version is released.

Note: Don t forget to take your data backup every day. This will save your project work from the following: a. Virus problem b. System failure c. File corrupt Data Backup is an important event to be done on regular basis in a project management
