DOS To Web Site conversion of Circuit Lessons

Summary: Convert Collection of DOS-based Educational Lessons to an HTML/Flex/Flash-based web site accessible by subscription only. We have an Educational software package created in 1993 that runs on DOS (but can be run in Windows up to Windows Vista). It also runs well in DOSBox. The goal of this job is to either convert or re-do the lessons in Flash so that they function and behave exactly as in the old version. The graphics and simple animations (based on 640x480) are to remain exactly the same (this will significantly reduce the work load), and can be taken from the old application using screen-grabbing or whatever technique(s) you discover. (However, if you have a technique for improving the graphics and/or making them vector-based, then we are willing to pay more for it) Each Lesson (corresponding to separate folder names in the original software distribution), must be exportable as its own independent Flash “swf”. Each set of menus will also become their own “swf”. The DOS version uses the PC-speaker to create beeps and blips. These sounds must be recreated to sound similar or similar sounds used. There are approximately 135 lessons. Each lesson has 1-5 parts such as “Component Description” and “Laboratory Simulation”. Each part contains a number of “slides” or “next states”. Each “next state” add/changes some text, part of an image, and/or does a simple animation. (See screenshots) Some lessons include a “quiz” part. The first slide of every quiz asks the user to input a student ID. You must be able to display the “grade” for each quiz by summing up the correct answers just as is done the original software. Helpful note: In the demo application provided, enter a “student id” of “eki123” to access the quizzes. The web site created must be made accessible by (teacher) subscription only. A system to add/edit subscribers must be created that will only be accessible to us (the site admin). Students’ quiz grades must be recorded, and the subscribers will need to be able to see a report of the grades of their students. See the attached “flow” diagrams for more information. The technologies used for the database and server-side programming required for this is up to you; however open-source solutions are preferred. The project you deliver to us must include all source code and any media required for us extend and/or change the project using commercial Adobe software and/or free software. Included with the completed project must be a written guarantee that “EKI” will hold copyright to all of this work and that you will not sell, give, or provide any of this content to another party. Included in the zip attachment is the DEMO version of the application. This will give you a good feel for the scope of the project. Contact us to get the full version which includes all the lessons if you need it to do a more accurate bid estimate. Bonus: You may learn something about electronics and circuits by doing this project! To run the demo application: (Does not include all modules – mostly only “EDL3” of [login to view URL] I) In Windows Vista or earlier, the [login to view URL] file must be extract to the root of a drive. (The batch files only work that way). Then run the [login to view URL] file in X:[backslash]ekiprep[backslash][login to view URL] (Where X is any drive letter). To run the demo application in DOSBOX: Extract the [login to view URL] file to something like C:[backslash]tomount. Run DOSBox and type “mount c c:[backslash]tomount” and hit enter. Now switch to the C drive by typing “C:”. The drive should now have an ekiprep folder. Change to that folder by typing “cd ekiprep”, and then run “[login to view URL]”. Timeline: It’s only fair to warn bidders that this project contains a lot of content. The [login to view URL] 1 lessons are the most pressing and can be delivered before the rest is complete. The larger the team and the faster this project can be completed, the better. Good luck!
