Beginning Authorware training or equivalent experience.

Authorware Training Materials
All students receive a copy of OnWord Press's latest Authorware book, an illustrated course workbook, and a CD-R copy of the files they create during the class.
Software Needed on Each Student PC
- Authorware 6, 6.5, 7, or later (Authorware 7.02 or later recommended)
- Firefox 1.5 or later or Internet Explorer 6 or later
Authorware Training Objectives
- To learn how to use the full range of Authorware Knowledge Objects to facilitate rapid development of e-learning applications
- To master the fundamentals of Authorware programming in order to build more powerful, flexible applications
Note: Authorware 7 supports JavaScript as a programming language in addition to the traditional Authorware programming language (which resembles Pascal). This course can be taught using either JavaScript (supported by Authorware 7 and later) or Authorware's traditional language (supported by all versions of Authorware. If you have Authorware 7, we strongly recommend that this course be taught using JavaScript, as the JavaScript skills students learn will be very applicable to any future Dreamweaver or Flash development they do.
