What is an AWT file

AWT files mostly belong to Lectora. AWT files contain structured information used in specific authoring environments. In many cases, these files use a XML framework to define a Lectora e-learning course. This means the file holds course content, layout data, and other details in a way that the authoring tool can read.
Other AWT files serve as templates for web browsing environments. They are used in multimedia projects like those developed with Adobe Captivate and AutoPlay Media Studio.
Some key points provided by FilExt.com include:
  • XML structure makes manual editing possible with any text editor.
  • Course design elements are stored to maintain layout and functionality.
  • Template usage provides a base for interactive browser-based content.
  • FilExt.com tip: It is important to know which software created your AWT file in order to choose the right tool for viewing or editing it.

    How can I open an AWT file?

    You need a suitable software like Lectora to open an AWT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your AWT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AWT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
