What is Opus?

Opus Pro is a multimedia presentation package for creating interactive and visually appealing presentations, games, and interactive learning material.

Actions such as showing or hiding objects, scoring quiz questions, or running animations can be attached to any object on the pages.

Actions can be triggered by a variety of mouse clicks, dragging and dropping objects or other events.

Creating interaction is quick and easy. Simply choose a trigger and select from a list of ready-made actions.

Publications can be exported as stand alone executable files or as Macromedia Flash format (.swf), a common web standard which can also be easily integrated with the ACTIVStudio range of Interactive Whiteboard software.
