[net.misc] Need Info on UNIX-based CAI Authoring Systems

hxe@rayssd.UUCP (04/12/85)

First, forgive me if this is in an inappropriate group; I
really couldn't think of where this should go.

Does anyone know of any UNIX-based CAI (Computer-Aided Instruction)
authoring systems?  I'm going to be writing a bunch of on-line
courses and I want to use an authoring system for it, rather than
start from scratch.

The two that I know of are "CAST", from MC^2, and AT&T's
Instructional Workbench (IWB).  I would like to know if there
are any more out there before I make a recommendation to purchase
either one.

What I'm looking for is a system with an authoring language, rather
than just templates, and the ability to pull actual UNIX programs
and files in as called.

I would appreciate any pointers to products.  I would even welcome
letters or calls from actual vendors of these products.

	Thanks in advance,
