A critical book series on ----


      Media
            Education
                Culture
                     Technology




The purpose of this series is to create a forum for investigating the social,
institutional, historical, and epistemological relationships between media,
education, culture, and technology.  From this perspective media, education,
culture and technology are positioned as social constructions existing in time,
geography, and within the social world.  The series will address, but not limit
itself to questions concerning power and control over the meanings and
interpretations used to form individuals as subjects, and to shape realities
and ways of thinking of students and teachers.

This series will entertain alternative voices to the empirical positivist way
of thinking now dominating educational discourse.  It will publish collections
of new works or individual undertakings that inquire into the nature of media
and technology as found and practiced in the social world of schooling.

Subject:      authoring software

There have been a number of requests about authoring software of which some
have been mine. For those still looking I came across an article called

How to build an authoring environment by Robert Becker in
Instruction Delivery Systems March/April 1991 p8-23.

It contains a directory of authoring systems. The list numbers nearly
one hundred although not all would equate with Hypercard, Linkway systems.
Information given on each system are:
Company Cost, Demo available, hardware requirements, system type (eg menu or
icon) and whether each system supports text, graphics, videodisc, CD-ROM or
other peripherals.

The article gives many pointers about what to look for in an authoring
system which can be handy given that no system gives exactly the same
features as the next, each tends to have its own way of handling problems and
users are developing a wide range of creations.

I look forward to people sharing their evaluations of authoring systems as we
come into contact with a growing range of "solutions".

I may be required to take a course in Hyper Card in September.
Since I have no access to a Mac, I was wondering if there was
a Windows version, or near version, of Hyper Card.  I have
read that Toolbook is similar, but I have found that it is
quite slow.  Are there other products available?

If you include Windows in your DOS world, you can consider Convert-it
from Heizer. It is supposed to convert Hypercard to Toolbook.

Subject:      Authorware Professional

Hello,

As of late, I have been developing an extensive amount of coursware with
Authorware Professional using Macintosh as a platform.  I was wanting to
convert the Mac courseware to IBM Windows format.  Initial testing shows
that many of the fonts do not transfer across well, and substitute fonts
picked by windows inadvertently end up "moved" because of their new font,
size, and proportion.  This has caused havoc with my screen formatting.

Has anyone out there done conversion of Authorware courseware from Mac to
Windows and found a font(s) that transfer across well, ending up in the
same screen location and looking good?

Thanks.

Please reply to me through this news group, or directly via internet.

HEIZER SOFTWARE (800-888-7667) makets a program developed by The HyperMedia
Group called ConvertIt! ($199).  The application translates HyperCard
stacks so they run in ToolBook under Windows 3.0 on a PC.

University of Alberta in CANADA.  Their are some large scale projects here
at the U of A including the development of CAI courseware for the entrie
high school Math Curriculum for Alberta Education.  I will be done my
Masters soon, and I'm interested in a doctorate program in IT that focusses
on development and production of multimedia materials.  I am specifically
looking for a program that has a large base of technical courses (ie.
prgramming).  Does this sound like what U Arizona is offering.  Does anyone
know of other programs?

Windowcraft put out by a company called Windowcraft or Echelon is
a Hypercard like product that runs under WIndows.

Its scripting language, called ClearTalk, is an exact clone of
Hypertalk.  In fact, if you learn to program in ClearTalk, HyperTalk
should present no problems for you.

Furthermore, Windowcraft comes with a Hypercard conversion program that
promises to convert a Hypercard 2.0 stack (as long as it contains
no XCOMMANDS and XFUNCTIONS) into a Windowcraft application that will
run in Windows.

The address I have on my box is Windowcraft Corporation
                                6 New England Executive Park
                                Burlington, MA 01803

But I understand they have moved.

They have a forum in CompuServe:  go winapb.
