Authorware

Authorware is a multimedia software development tool developed by Macromedia. This program is arguably the most powerful tool available for developing interactive multimedia applications. Since the founding of World Connect, Authorware has been one of the cornerstone of our development efforts. World Connect is recognized for its expert knowledge and use of Authorware. In addition to helping you with challenging Authorware programming tasks, we also offer on-site Authorware training and consulting.

We excel at Authorware templates; student recordkeeping and progress tracking; on-line help; installation programs; Shockwave; tables, forms and grids; software simulations; etc....in short, the features and functionality you need but may be unsure of how to implement.

Despite it's built-in power and flexibility, there are simply some tasks that Authorware is either not designed to do or does not implement well. We have the experience and resources to overcome these limitations:
