Type: Flash Interactive Date: July 2007 Client:  Holt, Rinehart and Winston Production Time: One Month Technology:  Maya, Photoshop, Flash, After Effects Roles:  Content development, Preproduction, Artwork, Animation, Programming, QA

This and other Biology interactives were created to accompany the 2008 release of Holt, Rinehart and Winston's high school Biology textbook. Each interactive was developed by Second Avenue Software's subject matter experts and instructional designers to supplement the material in the textbook. In this particular interactive, Gene Technologies, the user explores genes and DNA, learning what they are and what their functions are. The user also gets to see how they are used by scientists, doctors, and crime labs. The user then applies this knowledge in two scenarios: first by catching a criminal, and then by testing a skin sample for cancer.
