On November 9 2011, Adobe announced that it will stop development of the Flash player for mobile devices following the release of v11.1 for Android and BlackBerry.  (http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html (Opens in new window)) As a result, at their meeting in Melbourne on 29th November 2011 the E-standards Expert Group decided that as of 2013 it will no longer recommend Flash (swf) as a content format  for delivery of learner content in the VET sector, because it can no longer be deemed interoperable across the existing recommended devices. This does not mean that support is withdrawn for existing content, or that  the recommendation is withdrawn immediately. It does mean that content developers should consider transitioning to alternative methods (for example JavaScript/HTML) of delivering accessible interactive content. Unfortunately HTML5 is not recommended at this time for use in development of content intended for widespread use in the VET sector because of the inconsistent implementation by browser developers.  Please see the E-standards for Training 2011 HTML5 Research report. If you choose to use HTML5 functionality, you should provide a fall-back mechanism for browsers not supporting that element.
