Water Resources Discipline ITAC Activities

Both Breeze and Flash are Macromedia products.

In gross summary: Breeze is a tool for setting up and conducting training, including testing, auditing and other features. It supports a variety of content delivery options.

Flash is just one of the formats supported for content delivery. See below

Therefore, using Flash for some of our training modules (such as demonstrated in Little Rock) is very compatible with Breeze. The Flash modules can be incorporated into the Breeze system if it is decided to more formalize the training.
