Hi
Take a look at the following web site:

http://viaMedia.blackstone.ca/viamedia/

viaMedia is a template-based authoring tool designed for educators. It
enables them to easily create and distribute highly interactive, multimedia
rich,
              learning and testing experiences. 

              A web browser connected to the Internet is all that is
required to present viaMedia modules to learners.
