Are there any homeschoolers who have used Switched On Schoolhouse here?

Question

If so, do you know of any software that would allow me to create custom courses with a similar interface, or even plop custom courses *into* Switched-On Schoolhouse?

Answer 1

We used the Switched-On Schoolhouse for one very limited subject.  We wanted information for a state report.  Anyway, I'm pretty sure that they would have their custom made.  Here are some things that might be a place to start, however, on designing your own:

Tom Snyder Productions also carry a lot of educational software.  We have used Inspirations, a map making software, and timeline software from them.  We also have used software that created tests, etc.  Anyway, you might find something from them that could help you:

Have you looked at Macromedia Director?  That would be one to review, too.
