Hello colleagues,

I am looking for recommendations on software for a couple of language
applications and I was wondering if anyone out there had opinions.  I
am a
very computer literature teacher who has lots of technology savvy.
Although I would learn Java or other operating systems I prefer not t=
o
if
there is already inexpensive (possibly free) relatively easy to use
stuff
out there.

1. I am looking for a program that will allow me to create self
correcting
fill in the blank/ cloze/ matching etc activities to build directly
into
my website.  For those who are familiar with Quia.com, I have been
using
their services but would like something I could host myself and which
was
a little more flexible.

2. I am planning on writing an entire e-text book for second year
Spanish.
 I need a multimedia environment that can support video, audio, web
linkage,  self correcting activities etc......etc.  Basically I am
looking
for an extremely malleable environment that I can get at the language
=66rom
all sides.   I have been pre-viewing Authorware 6 from Macromedia and
see
it as a decent option.

Any and all feedback would be welcome.
