This is a growing market with new vendors showing up, but at the same time, others disappearing. If a RCAT vendor tells you they have been in business for over 10 years, they are somewhat misleading, since WBT courses really didn’t start to hit the mark until 2000 and then you have limited choices on how to build. That was then.

Colleges were just starting to offer Photoshop courses and were just including HTML and Macromedia in their curriculum. They have their regular speaker experts and their annual conferences, and they have their industry vendors who help support the community.

A product called Macromedia Flash (being used with web sites) became a go to for course development. Macromedia Dreamweaver came out with templates. The first half of the decade, saw a drop in the number of vendors offering a built-in authoring, but by the end of the decade, the numbers were starting up again. Then it happened.

Because it is Adobe – the same folks who came up with Photoshop a long time ago, who brought us Premiere – a long time ago and who bought Macromedia – again, a long time ago. Equation tool – I’ve seen more vendors add this thing – and unless you are in education I can’t see why you would use it.

Since I have been covering the area of eCollaboration (which includes some forms of eLearning) for the last 15 years, I talk to lots of vendors about their plans for collaboration and their future. With the acquistion of MacroMedia it looks like Adobe will be leaping into the collaboration space even more quickly.

While I have seen a few that give off the “rapid build” appearance, unless you have experience with solutions in the past like Authorware, MacroMedia Director, or similar brethren, you will face some serious challenges. It happens a lot, especially if the product allows it (which many do).

Articulate Presenter was around well before eHelp (one of the leading companies) was purchased by Macromedia that was purchased by Adobe. The e-book discusses the pros and cons of the different types of products without looking at any one specific vendor. These tools didn’t get their start in 2007.

Instead, it was someone from Macromedia Dreamweaver, which is software for building websites. LTG, Macromedia, Adobe, and Smart ideas (for the most part) LTG acquiring Rustici (makers of the SCORM engine and Watershed LRS, among other items) is a great idea. Adobe was the first vendor to use templates to create courses.

Today’s reality for Learning Design software vendors is simple, if you continue to focus on traditional eLearning design, you are not only doing customers a disservice, you are putting the future of your company at risk, in the way Kodak did when they refused to see a digital future. Conclusion.

Since the advent of e-learning, Macromedia products were popular, and enormous quantities of content were generated using platforms like Director and Flash. Engagement Type —Would you collaborate closely with the outsourcing vendor? Or would you leave it to the vendor to manage the bulk of the project?

To me Real Time Collaboration (RTC) solutions like Macromedia Breeze , Centra , WebEx , Elluminate etc replicate oh so many of the problems we face in the traditional face-to-face model. Macromedia - stop asking for my mailing address when I go to view the archive. Give me a place to go to afterwards. -

The King was pushed over the walls by poor design, irrelevancy to the subject and ghastly to say, indifference among various vendors. The weapons including Authorware, Macromedia Director, DazzlerMax, Toolbook were the ones that separated the knights from the common folk. Brought down by the tool or tools, another retorted back.
