Conversion of Adobe Flash E-Learning to HTML5

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done As Adobe Flash is being phased out, the College of Policing requires some of its national e-learning products to be converted into fully responsive HTML5/CSS web pages that will be accessed on a variety of devices across all forces. We require an experienced team to work with us to convert key e-learning courses. This work must be completed by 31 March 2018. Problem to Be Solved To re-purpose legacy Flash e-learning products into web-enabled responsive HTML5/CSS products. The work needs to demonstrate excellent UX design, and all code needs to be fully commented and meet recognised standards to enable future in-house maintenance work. Who Are the Users All users of the national learning platform should be able to access content using multiple browsers and devices that are nowadays keeping up to date with modern day technologies. As a result, Adobe Flash being a phased out technology requires conversation to supported formats so that learning for all users of the national learning platform can continue.
