Principles of ATLAS • Promote reusability: • Unifying the platform: MHP • Peculiarities: Latencies, synchronising with streaming media, low computational demands, etc. • Unifying the courses: SCORM • Media-driven strategies • Mainly, audiovisual material • Contextual binding: • Identifiers linked to pieces of information • Defined differently for the different types of content • Timestamps in fragments of audio and video • Regions in images • Anchors in a text • Options in menus, etc.
