Multimedia 2: "My First Project"
Malted Editor has two different management work areas:
A) Frame Management: it is the work area used to create
and edit Frames. It has got its own menu
and on the left-hand side of the screen the designer can see the image,
audio, video and text folders of the Frame we are developing. By double-clicking
these folders, the content of each of them is shown, so that the designer
can preview the files and change their name.
B) Course Management: it is used to generate a Course
once the frames it consists of have been created. It also has its own
menu and on the left-hand side of the screen
the designer can see the list of all the frames included in the project
we are working with. By double-clicking a frame from the list, we run
its preview; by selecting a frame from the list and right clicking it
the Edit frame option appears and it automatically moves to the Frame
Management.
To move between Managements, you can either click the icon
or
select
Management>Course or
Management>Frame
from
the menu .
On the top bar the designer can see the Management
in which he is working at any time .
1.
When we open Malted Editor (DVE), it is necessary to create a new
Project or to open an existing one in order
to start working. This can be done from File>New
Project
or File>Open
project.
2. When selecting
File>New project,
a window where we must introduce the name of the project opens. Let's
try it out and write test. When naming a project, it
is essential to take into account that it cannot contain blanks or funny
characters. Then, click Accept.

Select Windows so as to check that, apart from being
able to change between Frame Management and Course
Management, the designer can also alternate among the frames
being edited, i.e. between Dialog_000.xml and MCh_1Q_anyTime.xml.
Select Window>Course
to go to the Course Management. On the top bar we are
shown that we are developing a project called test and
that at the moment we are working in the area called Course Management.
On the left-hand side of the screen we can see the frames we have added
to the project. The Frame InfoExpl.xml has been added
to the project at the same time as MCh_1Q_anyTime.xml
since the MCh_1Q_anyTime.template on which our frame
is based includes both frames.
9. Click the New Course icon or select File>New
Course.
Name the course as test, exactly as the name of the project.
It is not compulsory that both project and course have the same name,
but it is common practice so as to make the project management easier.
Then, click Accept .
10. Check that on the top bar it is shown that we are working with the
test project, in the Course Management,
and with the test.cxml course .

11. Select the MCh_1Q_anyTime.xml and drag it onto the
right-hand side of the screen, the area where frames order in the course
is established. Then, do the same with Dialog_000.xml.
The frames order in the course includes ascending numbering starting from
0, 1, 2, … If we select any frame from the right-hand side area, we can
move it up or down within the linear sequence that the Frames follow by
using the Up and Down buttons .

12. In order to check the correct running of the course, we must first
click the Save icon or select File>Save,
and once the changes have been saved, we select Course>Run
course.
Malted RTE opens. RTE is a browser that
incorporates edit options, which has been aimed at being used by sample
lessons developers .

13. Within RTE we can check the correct running of all
the media objects, cards, etc, that have been added. The Verify
button checks the selected answers in the current card. If we click the
arrow, the next frame that opens should show Dialog_000.
