The dominating authoring tool by far, was Authorware. Authorware usage and fan base made Storyline supporters and usage look like a rock stage at a state fair. There are even fans today of Authorware, who if it was still around, would bounce right into it. Other course authoring tools started to appear right after Authorware.

In response to the demand for more accessible authoring tools, Authorware was born. Using Authorware , learning professionals could create learning programs with hyper-simplistic designs, primarily through dragging and dropping icons. So, simplicity was there for the author, but at the cost of effective learner engagement.

Most of the new authoring tools either use PPT as their backbone or offer the ability to import slides. I “grew-up&# in eLearning world using Director/Authorware and then moving into Flash/HTML (PPT was “off-limits&# ). At first I was very anti-PPT, however I have changed my tune a bit in the past few years.

Sure, you can use the extensive list of tools on the market, but for those who want real power and complexity ala from the days of Authorware, pickings are slim. SCORM compliant learning object generator, customized editing interface, web based media player that works across multiple platforms, video/audio, image slides, text synchronization.

Anyone who used Authorware can attest to that. Vendors such as Articulate, have told me that they see PowerPoint as an authoring tool, which would explain why they use the term “slides” in their products. As you can see there is no mention of slides. Anyway, joy was not there, because it required double the work.

Compared to building courses in Flash or Authorware, the rapid elearning tools are easy to use. Create a simple 10 slide PowerPoint file. I like it that I don’t have to know flash but can still get some of the same effects. Feel free to recommend other good books in the comments section. Play Around with the Software.

Dr. Michael Allen introduced Authorware in the 1980s and helped us leverage the personal computer and graphical user interface. We’ve also acknowledged that the endless slide shows of the past three decades are painfully ineffective, so alternative techniques from gaming to adaptive learning have become more fundamental.
