However, I am finding by comparison that Revolution is better, allowing much more rapid development in view of its powerful scripting language. The key is to first decide what kind of format you want in the educational program, which may differ depending on the educational level of the students and the topic of the course. It would first help to explore existing educational programs in your field of interest, whether or not they are in computerized or written format. Once you have decided on what you want to accomplish, the likelihood is that you will be able to do it in Revolution. I'll be happy to send you a sample of one or more of the programs I've done. These include:
1. Neurologic localization - a program designed to instantly point graphically to the areas of the nervous system involved in neurologic deficits. Teaches the user how to make diagnoses. Contains a laboratory course in neuroanatomy. (No quiz questions) 2. Ophthalmology atlas - teaches ophthalmic examination, including an atlas of ophthalmologic diseases (no scoring) 3. Radiology atlas of ophthalmologic diseases - quizzes the student on radiologic images (no scoring) 4. Cardiology - teaches heart sounds, EKGs, x-rays, echocardiography, along with a series of quiz questions (no scoring) 4. Review for the Medical Board exams - I'm working on several Board exams. Each CD includes 1000+ questions, with scoring. Frankly, I'm amazed at the relative ease of doing this in Revolution. One of the really nice things about Revolution is the ease of connecting from the CD program to Internet sites, which should prove increasingly important in future educational programs. I've taught medical students for 25 years, which may involve a different educational approach than other audiences. So the audience and the subject may influence the design.
