Send to email | Adobe introduces Director 11 in Techie stuff | By Trey Martindale el 19-Feb-2008 | So the authoring tool Director has in effect risen from the dead. And jumped from version 8.5 to version 11, after 3 years of no public development.
I’m a former Director user, and it was a pretty good tool for developing interactive CD-ROMs, before this fancy WWW thing became really popular. The rise of Flash also seemed to doom Director to obscurity. But no, here is Director, back with new features. But it may be too late, as Flash has become entrenched. Director needs the Shockwave player to play content in one’s browser. Shockwave used to be installed on a large percentage of browsers, but not so much these days.
I’m going to give the new Director a spin. I’m wondering if I could use it for an authoring course I teach. We formerly used Authorware, and have moved to Dreamweaver and Flash. The latter are fine tools for creating web content, but it would be a stretch to classify these general-use tools as e-learning authoring tools. Like hammering nails with a brick. One can do it, but it’s messy.
