One of the challenges of this project has been to combine two different technologies.
Initially we hoped to have our avatar fully integrated into the LibGuide. This has proved to be more difficult than originally planned so we had to develop an alternative plan. CodeBaby creates the avatar as flash files which require Java script to run. The problem we have is how to upload and reference these correctly when the LibGuide is hosted by a third party server.
At this stage we have located the avatar flashfiles and the Java script on the GippsTAFE server and we link to them from rich text boxes in the LibGuide. This means the avatar pops up in a new window separate to the LibGuide. It works but is not ideal.
We are still exploring options to overcome this problem.
