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.

We can also offer
a customised course where you can ‘pick
and mix’ from the course elements to provide you with
the skills you need for a particular project or use of the
program. For example you might wish to specialise in the Maths
handling features or the Drag and Drop style of interaction.
