[samigo-team] Replacing Java applet with HTML5/Flash

[Keli Sato Amann]

Wow Sam, thanks for doing this! Seems like someone makes an announcement about Java security every week. Some comments

1) Maybe you are saying that playback doesn't work and that's a separate fix? Otherwise, maybe something is wrong with my quicktime installation. I went in as a student but I was not sure if it worked or not: I was not able to listen to what I had recorded and when I click to download it generated an error when I clicked the link. As an instructor, I can see something submitted but I have a greyed out Q icon, even though I enabled Quicktime Version: 7.6.6 (I can download the .au file this time, but I get a note from QT that says audio_3_1.au cannot be opened). 

2) the progress bar was still going while it said the "Upload is complete. Closing this window." Maybe it should say "Uploading recording. Window will close when complete."

3) it's unclear what will happen when I click stop or post. Sometimes I click stop and it uploads (the second time), other times I have to explicitly click "post recording." I think it should only upload when you click post recording.

4) finally my secret hope was that this might work from iOS devices since it works with HTML5, but the recording button doesn't really work. Also, it opens a second browser window, which might get complicated, since it will do this for every new question.

When this gets further along, I will forward this to Ken Romeo, who works with the language instructors here and is intimately familiar with their needs for this app.

I have a draft version of an HTML5 with Flash fallback replacement of the audio recording applet available for testing: 


http://198.30.168.81:7080/portal/ 


You can login as instructor1/sakai or student0011/sakai. 


If you want to test in Chrome (HTML5), go to chrome://flags and then enable "Web Audio Input". 


For other browsers, it should fall back to Flash. 


We also should replace the Quicktime embeds for playing back the audio with HTML5 <audio> embeds. 


Please feel free to share thoughts, issues you run into.
