Authorware is a Macromedia product. It is an 'authoring' tool -- originally for CD-ROM authoring but now for web based stuff and hybrids too -- used to develop multi-media pieces. (I know all of that is self-referencial...let's see if I can do this any better.) Alright, you collect the stuff you want to show people. Multi-media -- text, audio, video, flash animation, graphics, whatever -- Authorware provides a method by which you can organize this stuff, put it into courses, chapters, units, sub-units, etc. You design the GUI. You write the content. You script various actions. (real world applications: you can design tests for each chapter -- if your customer gets a certain % wrong you can make them take that chapter again...or just put a sign on the screen that calls them a dumb ass or it could be something as simple as sounding a 'beep' when they get a wrong answer ...just examples. Scripting is very flexible...do almost anything you want, or nothing at all but present a series of 'slides' for viewing. It's up to you how complicated you get.) When you are finished designing your course, you 'package' it into an executable, burn it and auxilary files to a CD, burn 25,000 copies and pass 'em out to all your favorite pharmacists. They put this CD into any computer with a CD-ROM drive and go to town...learning all there is to know about all those robots.
