Fuji Xerox Singapore Brings Knowledge Director's Innovative
Interactive Learning Solutions to Singapore History
Museum
The Singapore History Museum (SHM) deployed the I-Display
Solution Suite from Fuji Xerox Singapore for its visitors
to benefit from a more dynamic and interactive presentation of
the Singapore History.
Each visitor assumes the role of a detective and tries to solve
a mystery about a skull found in the Singapore River's
bank. The clues are scattered around in the museum exhibits in
different forms such as video, audio and text.
After collecting all the clues, the visitor will proceed to the
interactive 'Finale' zone and try to solve the mystery.
Knowledge Director together with Fuji Xerox developed the
interactive game-based 'Finale' where visitors collate
all the 'clues' gathered and try to solve the mystery with
the use of PDAs in a wireless environment!
With this new interactive game-based concept of presentation
and display, SHM adopts a more dynamic and engaging experience
for museum visitors, thus breaking away from the conventional
manner of presenting history.

Singapore Polytechnic Implements learningDIRECTOR™ for its
Campus-Wide Interactive Learning Network
Singapore Polytechnic was looking to empower educators to create
and maintain educational games and interactive education materials
with ease and speed. Knowledge Director was faced with the
challenge of developing a time-saving solution simple enough to be
used effectively by individuals with no prior programming knowledge. It was important that the designing of truly media-rich courses be made possible without bogging teachers down unnecessarily.
learningDIRECTOR™ successfully realizes these obligations.
Equipped with extensive educational game and interactive
learning template libraries this user-friendly solution
facilitates the production of standard- compliant and visually
stimulating digital content that can be both easily uploaded
onto the school's learning management systems and/or
downloaded in HTML format to be burned onto CD-ROMs for
students with minimal fuss. The game and content is thus,
created only once whilst delivery formats can be multimodal.
