PachyDerm is a browser based authoring platform designed for people with little multimedia experience. The tool is accessed through a web browser and is as easy to use as filling out a web form. Authors upload their own media (images, audio clips, and short video segments) and place them into pre-designed templates, which can play video and audio, link to other templates, zoom in on images, and more.Once the templates have been completed and linked together, the presentation is published and can then be downloaded and placed on a website or CD-DVD.
The result is an attractive, interactive flash-based multimedia presentation.
SCUA is using it to develop presentations using pre-determined templates for their collections. Their patrons then can access these presentation via links on SCUA’s website. PachyDerm has already been used to author Online Exhibits such as: Unidos Por La Causa: The Chicana and Chicano Experience in San Diego available in English
y también disponible en español.
IDT has setup this web tool on our server named pachyderm.lib.sdsu.edu.
