Gastric Acid Secretion Tutorial

For Department of Physiology
University of Melbourne
Distributed by AD Instruments

This tutorial makes extensive use of interactive animations to describe the process of Gastric Acid Secretions.

The challenge Fourth World met with this project was to take this tutorial application from Mac to Windows using Revolution, without modifying the appearance of the program or the program itself.

Making extensive use of animated simulations, the product was converted well within the established budget and is now available for an audience ten times larger than before.

I have been delighted with FourthWorld's high level of interest and attention to user-problems, and especially pleased with the detailed explanations provided for solutions to my problems. I was also very impressed with the rapid feedback to my questions, and quick turnaround of beta versions (3 in 2 days at one stage!).
