tutorials + idea

I teach a course entitled Information Technology and Learning.  We cover a 
great deal of ground in this course (www.smith.edu/edc333) including 
learning several applications.  The most important application students 
learn in this course is an authoring system.  The system has to be 
adaptable for teachers of upper elementary children and essentially have no 
ceiling.  The program we have been using (SuperLink) is no longer being 
supported and is limited to PC platforms.  I have been searching for 
something that will take us far into the future.  Something like 
Hyperstudio is out.  I find it rather awful.  Director is not readily 
adjustable in ways that beginners can do interesting things.  Metacard and 
Supercard are interesting and so is Revolution.  (Okay, enough of the 
search story.)

So, suggestions for how to begin learning Revolution would be terrific as 
would tutorials created by knowledgeable users.

Any suggestions, opinions, etc. would be most appreciated.
