Does anyone know if Serif Web Creation is suitable software for these Units?

Please see below forwarded to me by Approvals and Verification at SQA. Are other centres experiencing similar problems?

Does anyone know of dates when further ASPs will be available? I am looking to run with a 2 year program starting this August, and so far I only have two ASPs for my first year.

Some points regarding the MCQ's in the ASP: Version A: Q2 audio formats on WWW – both WAV and MP3 are widely used. Wording of question infers a single response. Q7 Compression applied to WAV files – This is misleading. Compression, as an effect, is "applied" to audio files in order to boost lower level signals and clip higher level signals by use of controllable threshholds and levels.

I am in the process of starting up a Computer Club for Girls (see CC4G) at Forth Valley College to address this very issue. Fiona Jackson From http://sqacomputing.blogspot.com/2007/09/women-in-computing.

This unit requires the following: "Use appropriate software tools to create a short video clip of approximately 30 seconds including a midi sound file, a 2d animation, a bitmap and a vector graphic" Does anyone know of any video editing software that can import midi files? Neither Windows Movie Maker nor Adobe Premiere will actually import midi files, and off-hand I don't know of any other video editing tools that support MIDI.

I'm delivering the unit – Digital Media Elements for Applications.As you may or may not, the students are required to "aquire" a 30–60 second video AND audio track using a "device". It states using mobile phones as one option, but most mobile phones video use 3gp as a file format which doesn't import into Movie Maker or Premiere… (without codecs or converting it to something else first).

Could anyone advise me what the difference is between ASPs and NABs? They appear to be the same thing but surely it isn't just a naming exercise.
