backstory
+ Show Spoiler +
Last night, I played through Portal for the first time -- for homework. I have to write a journal entry on it over 500 words and I chose to do it on how the rules...I'm in a video game theory class. It's a new field and my professor is one of the first to really delve into it.

In the class we garner assignments by moving around a game board. When we land on a certain space, we do the assignment. There are movement rules and you have to plot your own path. At the end of the semester, all your points are totaled. 450+ is A+, 450-425 is A, then I think it goes by 45 points for every letter grade (not sure).



I want to develop a map where people could mouse over the icon over a particular area to see the assignment, average points, have hotlinks to other files (like short paper assignment would link & open the guidelines) and have a space which made it easy to record where/what points you received, basically create a comprehensive class package for the game in an all-in-one folder (which could be easily edited if you needed to change assignment details for [interdisciplinary] classes).

No specific requirement is critical, if it can be equivalent that's good enough (like instead of opening another file it would be a giant file with hyperlinks to different sections)

I'd want this to be made in a format which is widely available (msword, pdf, something like that) -- basically anything on my school's network. Or if the program creates a standalone file which can be easy downloaded, that works too.

so far I'm planning on doing this with msword somehow, but I'd like to consider all of my options before I start. I have no idea where to look. If you think you know of some software which could help point me at it.

or should I start learning html?


so far I'm thinking one of these:
html
pdf
msword

ill have to check what university software is new enough to do it with.

So you're basically doing an enhanced version of Blackboard.

blackboard sucks ass. we're using it right now. its so hard to navigate with this class...that's what I want to change. I'm thinking a mouseover pdf with a summary info/word document with hyperlinks and better organization of the various rules and other files associated with it all.

I'd have a fillable field on the pdf to input their grades just to keep a running total in a convenient place they'll be looking at all the time. no calculations, just for them.

this is what I'm leaning towards but if there's something better and all-inclusive I'd go for that instead
