MaxAuthor

Each of the 14 courses was created with MaxAuthor,[15][16] 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.[17][18]

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.[19][20][15][21][22][23][24][25]

MaxAuthor is no longer under development.

Critical reception

Many of the courses were reviewed in academic journals.[26][27][9][6][11] The Critical Languages Series Online was a subscription-based service that delivered the same materials online.[28][29]
