Skwirk Interactive Schooling

Wiliam built Skwirk Interactive Schooling a Web site that is exciting for, and accessible to, the most demanding and discerning users of all: children and teenagers.

One of the most straightforward demands for any website is ease of use, but a Website catering to schoolchildren from kindergarten to high school needs to satisfy very high standards for usability.

skwirk.com.au is an interactive schooling and tuition Web site which caters to young users with on-line quizzes, prepackaged tutorials, integration with premium learning resources such as Websters World, and streaming video – just to name a few of the many available features.

sitedock™ is the content management system that enabled Wiliam to implement the rich features of the Skwirk Interactive Schooling site, and to incorporate personalisation and age-specific formatting that even changes font, text size and content layout to suit the age of the user.

A Wiliam Client Subscription gives this enterprising on-line educator a relationship with the developer that created sitedock™, giving them maximum power to change the features of their site. The subscription resulted in the development of superior usability features – such as the ability to save all highlighted text on a page and then podcast it.

Skwirk's site allows the updating of video content, the presentation of quizzes contextual to articles on a page, and the hosting of an advertising module to generate income. sitedock™ even enables Skwirk Interactive Schooling to design and publish competitions with ease.
