Back when I first started developing e-learning courses, I used Macromedia's Authorware. For more interactive elements, I used Flash and imported the SWFs into Authorware. Almost every course involved using Flash for interactive elements (animations, games, quizzes, simulations, video, etc.).

And it worked very well with my Macromedia Flash when I was getting started in e-learning.

A product called Macromedia Flash (being used with web sites) became a go to for course development. If you didn’t know Flash nor have an instructional design background, options were limited. Macromedia Dreamweaver came out with templates. It was developed to tap into Flash (a huge plus). I used DazzlerMax.

Over the last ten years or so, major elearning developers have preferred to use tools like Flash, Authorware and Director from Adobe (earlier Macromedia). One of the other major advantages of Flash is that is supports close designer-developer collaboration. Is there a competitor to Flash? Is there an alternative to Flash?

Is it PowerPoint converted to Flash? Microsoft Word converted to Flash? Macromedia Authorware and similar products. Macromedia Director. The Macromedia set typically would toss in Director, which created an equally impressive array of course capabilities, but a deep learning curve. HTML and Javascript.
