The Reload Learning Design Player is built on Eclipse and as such uses the Eclipse windowing and menuing system. The Player consists of:
A perspective is a group of views in the program window. A perspective contains one or more views. Each perspective may have a different set of views.
A view is a visual component within the program. It is typically used to navigate a hierarchy of information (such as resources) or display properties. Modifications made in a view are saved immediately. Normally, only one instance of a particular type of view may exist within the program. However, in the case of the browser view - you can have several open at the same time.
There are other components such as editors, but they are not
used in the player. More information on this can be found in the Reload Learning
Design Editor's Help section.
We use the term "part" to mean either a view or an editor. Parts can
be active or inactive, but only one part can be active at any one time. The
active part is the one whose title bar is highlighted. The active part is the
target for common operations like import, play, delete. The active part also
determines the contents of the status line.
The following screenshot shows a typical layout of two views within a perspective:
