http://www.adobe.com/products/authorware/ Adobe's Authorware, version 7 as of the end of 2009, helps computer naive instructors or course content authors create multimedia instructional materials, lessons, exercises, and tests in both a linear (straight through) sequence and as a "branching" multiple paths through the same material. Multiple paths also allows for the addition of on-demand tutorial "tangents" on a given topic for, say, special or exceptional learners.
