I was using DazzlerMax and Authorware, which are superior offerings for creating courses. Consider various other systems that would have made sense, not just from a competitor standpoint but a more decisive entry into two valuable segments, including customer training, which Cornerstone is not strong in, let alone a player.

In the early days of e-learning course creation, you could either use your in-house instructional designer(s), self-teach yourself Authorware, DazzlerMax, and similar tools – or have your in-house ID person do it for you, outsource development to a 3rd party aka custom development for your proprietary course.

After getting a bachelor’s in communication and an MBA, I joined Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), learned Authorware (an early e-learning authoring tool) and how to write training guides … then was never staffed on a project where that was my role. And that’s when my work in custom course development really got its start.

If you are an Authorware fanatic missing the old days, you are still going to miss it – because while these capabilities are being added to tools they are still not at the level of Authorware. Each can be customized – to a degree. I for one, like that because it has run its course (look a pun!). Audio Editing.

Anyone who used Authorware can attest to that.
