eLearning 24-7
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021
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.

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. Over the years, I have used ToolBook, Trainersoft, and even Dreamweaver with Coursebuilder.

He is the author of seven book including a best-seller on creating effective e-learning and in has received ASTD’s Distinguished Contribution to Workplace Learning and Performance Award in 2011. If ADDIE produces the products you want, does so comfortably, and works effectively with the constraints you work with, I’d stick with ADDIE.

Screen recording is built right in, which makes this a promising tool for software training. Michael was, of course, the creator of Authorware, a highly powerful tool from the CD-ROM era, which Adobe eventually gave up on after they inherited it from Macromedia. In effect, to give us back what we had with tools in the 1980s and 90s.
Rapid eLearning

Play Around with the Software. Compared to building courses in Flash or Authorware, the rapid elearning tools are easy to use. In addition, try to connect with expert users of the software and show them what you’ve done and ask for opinions. If you use other software, they probably have their own forums.

I came into rapid e-learning from the world of Authorware and Flash where building courses took a lot of time and cost a lot more money. Without those goals, it’s a challenge to create measurable objectives and build effective courses. But I saw the light in the early 2000s when I started using Articulate Presenter.

I’ve met people who had worked on the original SCORM standard, those driving the new xAPI standard, as well as early champions of our industry who coined the terms and built the original software tools. The computers were great, but software was lacking. By 1988, 97% of schools had at least one computer.
