Microsoft Semblio is a software development kit for development of rich educational software. Version 1.0 was published by Microsoft on 15 December 2008.[1]
The Microsoft Semblio SDK is built on the .NET Framework 3.5, and is intended to provide developers with tools for packaging and distribution of rich interactive learning material, such as e-books containing images, audio, and video.[1] Version 1.0 of the SDK can be freely downloaded from Microsoft.[1]
The SDK is the first of three components that will make up the Semblio Platform. The other two includes an assembly tool and a media player.[2]
The Semblio file format (.semblio) is based on ISO/IEC 29500-2:2008 Open Packaging Convention.[3]
