I would look at Macromedia's Shockwave Director - not cheap but easy to use
and the results are excellent. Also the format is well supported across the
web, with relevant plugins for IE4/5 and Netscape 4/5/6 available free for
download. A more future proof solution.

> Hi,
> Could anyone recommend a suitable Authoring package used to design
> multimedia type applications. We, at Bridgend College, have been
> using a program called Icon Author to both write programs and teach a
> Computer Assisted Learning module on a HND in Disability Studies
> course.

> Unfortunately, Icon Author is now no longer being marketed and
> supported and is also hugely overpriced (around £1000 per copy).
> For the next year 2000 - 2001 we would be looking to teach a
> different package - but has similar capabilities i.e. which allows the
> user to incorporate text, graphics, video, audio, animation into
> a created application. It would need to be a package that someone
> with a non-programming background could pick up relatively easy
> (something like Visual Basic would not be suitable).
>
> Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. I would particularly
> like to hear from anyone who actually writes multimedia programs with
> disability in mind.
