Macromedia Authorware & Director. Authorware was a great tool in its day (especially for non-coders). Also a big fan of iBooks Author. I know, technically, it’s still around, Apple stopped supporting/developing it.

A1: The old Macromedia courseware authoring tools - Authorware, Director & Flash. Better things have replaced them, but there was a simplicity to the creation process that was quite satisfying. #LTHEchat

Authorware isn't dead yet. There are communities in China, Thailand, South Africa and even Sudan. If you google for AW 7 source code, you'll discover interesting things. The Chinese even have several books dealing with Authorware 7 (incl. CD)

Should we bring back Macromedia? Did I learn Authorware for nothing?!!

A1: In the distant past I used Authorware - a sort framework for e-learning content, and more recently I've encouraged teachers to use H5P, which is similar in concept, but much better, and easier for teachers. I've not come across anything similar for students though #LTHEchat

So, the fonts on my phone are normal size, BUT…
my 1st tech job was using Authorware to make educational CD-ROMs, which segued into Director animations embedded in Authorware.
When Flash came out and it meant we could do what we were doing in a browser, it launched my career as a web developer.

Ooit nog gebruikt als achtergrondmuziek bij een fotocollage in een interactief leerprogramma over de Vietnamoorlog in 1997 tijdens de 'vrije ruimte' voor de lerarenopleiding geschiedenis. Met 3 medestudenten gemaakt met Authorware. Heel vooruitstrevend. Helaas kan ik de cd rom niet meer afspelen.

I made so many weird projects in Flash during college for interactive design classes. It was a fun era for sure! I also used Macromedia Authorware for like 8 years for a job. That program was terrible. 😂

Sounds like '80s HyperCard
Toolbok did the same some years later
(Macromedia) AuthorWare added the Flowline for programming,
every serious ELearning app(lication) was built with AW
Eventually we go full circle again, not AI programming with natural language, but dragging Components on a flowline

Macromedia bought Future Splash in 1996 and renamed it Flash.
will never forget, I was a Macromedia user all through the 90s
Was already using Macromedia ShockWave (in Director and Authorware)
Some interns showed me Future Splash in 1995
And I said "Too small a company, we're not going to use it"
