This is my second subject with Dr Zaida, I have learnt a lot from her. I was really enjoyed the Visual Static class with her in last semester, even I have to spend  a lot of time on the subject. The more we spend on it, the more we get from it. About authoring, I have learnt  Authorware in my degree , hopefully it is not too difficult for me to follow this class. The interesting issue about today class was Dr Zaida shared her research regarding learning flash through Apps in ipad2. We were very lucky cause we are able to be the respondents in her research.
