I searched for a tool, and few were available then, so I opted for AuthorWare 2, by Macromedia. Now we are at AW 7, and Adobe bought out Macromedia.<br /><br />Like you, I found it useful to use these in class to break up the tedium of a lecture and to illustrate concepts with interactions. <br /><br />Over the years, I put these together and finally came out with an ebook with all the multimedia in the Table of Contents and easy to find by the teacher to use in class and also spread throughout the book at the relevant place.<br /><br />I see you are using Atkins. My book is Physical Chemistry by Laider, Meiser and me. Formally published in hard copy by Houghton Mifflin, it is now published by the authors, and has all the multimedia integrated as I mentioned into an ebook.<br /><br />In my experience, these interactions are helpful to students and also, as you found, help break up the class.Bryan Sanctuaryhttp://www.mchmultimedia.com/noreply@blogger.com
