Best Strategies for Flash to HTML5 Conversion
There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy for Flash to HTML5 conversion. It all depends on the availability of source files, required level of interaction, and the technical complexity of the training. You can choose from our 4 ‘R’s Strategies.
Situation 1
“I don’t have the source files!”
If your Flash-based courses:
- Don’t have source files
- Are simple and self-running
- Don’t require a lot of user interaction
Strategy 1: RECORD them to MP4 format which:
- Is SCORM/AICC/Tin Can compatible
- Can be hosted on all Learning Management Systems
Situation 2
“My courses were developed in older versions of authoring tools!”
If your courses were developed in older versions of authoring tools (with both Flash and HTML5 output):
Strategy 2: REPUBLISH them to the newer version of the same tool and:
- Enhance the courses instructionally
- Repurpose them as a curriculum of microlearning assets in HTML5
Situation 3
“My courses were developed in in obsolete software but have usable media elements!”
Strategy 2: REBUILD the courses in HTML5 using Flash Assets!
Reuse the content and assets to rebuild courses in a new authoring tool for HTML5 output for cross-platform, cross-device compatibility.
Situation 4
“The content in some of my courses has become obsolete!”
If the content in your Flash courses needs significant edits OR if the source files are not unavailable:
Strategy 4: REDESIGN the courses from scratch, using a new authoring tool.
- Add new information in the courses
- Use new-age interactions available in modern authoring tools
- Leverage New Approaches such as Microlearning
