Flash to HTML5 education content conversion

The situation across education worldwide:

  • Tons of legacy Flash content
  • Millions of mobile devices, including tablets
  • Much of the mobile ecosystem doesn’t support Flash content
  • Usually, there are content conversion issues:
    • What’s the right strategy? (native App, HTML5)?
    • Where’s the ROI for mobile enablement?
    • Can I extend my content asset user base?
    • Technology seems complicated with all the options
  • Once converted, content is usually turned back to the existing user base, missing the opportunity to generate revenue by making the ‘liberated’ content available to a wider, global market.
