Software:MaxAuthor

From HandWiki

MaxAuthor was a free (for non-commercial use) authoring system created at the University of Arizona. For over a decade, it enabled language instructors to produce their own Computer assisted language instruction (CALI) materials for 47 languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and many other Less Commonly Taught Languages[1][2]

Student activities included MaxBrowser, Listening Dictation, Pronunciation, Multiple Choice, Vocabulary Completion (Cloze), and Audio Flashcards. Lessons could be delivered to students via Internet or MS-Windows.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

MaxAuthor was also used to create the 14 CD/DVD-ROM courses of the Critical Languages Series which was published by the University of Arizona. MaxAuthor is no longer under development.
