Macromedia recognizes that instructional developers have unique needs. In an effort to address these needs, Macromedia has developed a set of product features that add specific learning functionality to Macromedia software.
These features—which may be called extensions, interactions, components, templates, or sample files, depending on the product in which they are used—make it faster and easier to perform key development tasks when building learning content. Some of these features are automatically installed with the products, while others are available as free extensions or sample files that must be downloaded and installed separately.
These special features enable you to easily create page and site navigation and structure, as well as add interactive elements to your instructional content. These elements might be quiz questions, exploratory sequences, or case study scenarios. You can typically choose from a variety of interaction types, from basic interactions like multiple choice and drag-and-drop, to more complex formats such as explorations and sliders. You can even track learner progress, leveraging interoperability standards such as SCORM and AICC.
Macromedia offers these special learning features for the following products:
