Striking the Match
Striking the Match is an e-learning application designed to familiarize entry-level live-event marketing workers with the Dorado Bar Program (DBP)*. The DBP is a marketing research effort designed to collect names of adult smokers for inclusion in a direct mail database for a large tobacco company. The DBP is conducted by the live-event marketing company for which the learners work.
This demo is a subset of a 9-topic program. Each topic represents a different venue with a unique opening animation, music and graphics to set the mood along with a guide and a bouncer, who provides feedback. Upon the successful completion of a topic, the learner receives a souvenir matchbook, which is added to the Venue Menu to indicate the learner's progress through the course.
In the full program, learners take a pre-assessment and a post-assessment for each topic. Their scores are tracked in a database. The learner can not progress from one topic to another without passing the post-assessment with a score of at least 80%. Learner progress is tracked in the database, and progress reports are automatically generated and sent to managers via e-mail. Bookmarking allows learners to easily re-enter a topic on the last screen they viewed before exiting.
Striking the Match was developed in Macromedia Flash, using ASP for server-side database connectivity. All instructional text and quiz text is fed to the program dynamically from external XML documents.
Devlopment of Striking the Match was a collaborative effort:
- David Scribner provided program architecture, front-end Flash ActionScript programming, XML scripting, and all graphics design, animations, and interactivity.
- Frogkick, Inc. provided instructional design, content development and project management.
- An independant contractor (who wishes to remain anonymous), provided server-side scripting, database connectivity, reporting and Actionscript support.
* In this demo, the names of the marketing initiative, the marketing company, and the tobacco company have been changed.
