Adobe Authorware Training Course

 

Advanced Authorware 7
Duration: 2 days
Macromedia Authorware 7

Course Synopsis: The course is an in-depth look at Authorware 7’s advanced features,
focusing primarily on the use of Functions and Variables. Authorware Advanced provides experienced Online Learning Developers with the knowledge and handson use of Functions and Variables they need to develop and extend sophisticated learning applications.

Who Should Attend: Educators, training developers or technical experts who wish to enhance learning applications, deliver them to employees and customers on the Web, LANs, and CD-ROM, and track student results.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving fi les, and the general operations of computers. Students should have attended the Fast Track to Authorware course or have equivalent experience with the product. Students should be comfortable working in a Windows environment and have experience using the World Wide Web. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend working with the application tutorial before coming to the course.

What You Will Learn:
• Using variables and functions to augment your Authorware pieces
• Increasing interactivity of your programs by using perpetuals in Movies and Motions
• Solving problems using the Authorware Icons
• Moving & Moveable Objects
• Parents & Children
• Branching
• ActiveX Controls
• Knowledge Objects

Time: Class time is 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day and lunch is typically scheduled 12-1. Students provide their own lunch.

Locations: We have company-operated facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Diego and Washington DC. We also work with a network of rental facilities to offer our classes regularly across the United States and in Canada. Please double-check the location of your class with our office to make sure you get to the right location.
