Authorware Teaching Modules

  • Authorware teaching modules require require a Web player that can be downloaded from Macromedia.  With a 24,000 bps connection this download is likely to take 20 minutes or more.  For any particular computer, loading the Macromedia Web Player is a one time operation.  Of course, that means the Web Player has been added to the software overhead of the computer.

  • When one of these teaching modules is loaded for the first time, expect the first appearance of each page to take a while.  If Web access is unacceptably slow, you are welcome to download freestanding files that require no Web player.  Those files are really big, but once you have imported them they will run expeditiously.
  • Don't let the complications keep you for trying these learning aids.  If the topic matches your needs, they're definitely worth the time and trouble!
