Designed to introduce students to the real world of actual implementation, this tutorial takes students step-by-step through all the basic topics of Authorware — a cross-platform, interactive, multimedia, icon-based authoring environment. The tutorial is built around a continuing project that students build in steps —hands-on — from simple to complex. Neither simplistic nor excessively challenging, it builds students' confidence and competence with even the most difficult aspects of Authorware.
