How did they do that?
If you own Instructor™ 6, you'll be able to operate the training using either
runtime or author-level Instructor. Author-level Instructor™ will give
you you the ability to look "behind the scenes" and see how each part of the
training was accomplished. Let's say that you're on a page with an
interaction that you like. You can simply go to Author and look at the
script for the page to see our techniques.

I took the Learning & Mastering ToolBook CBT from Platte Canyon and found it to be most helpful.

All of us ToolBook account managers for Click2Learn are anxious for the Instructor 2004 L&M to be released. We count on your CD for our customers who aren't able to attend a training or wish to have material for just-in-time training. Keep up the excellent work!

From an instructional design standpoint, I think it's a wonderful example of one school of instructional design: Laying out objectives, making sure you teach to them, using testing points along the way to make sure people are focusing on the important concepts, providing summary views, practice exercises, show me examples, along with a summative evaluation. I think there are other instructional design models, some relying upon more inferential and exploratory techniques, but I think they've chosen a very good approach given the topic. And I think they've done it in a way that works.

I am very new to ToolBook, and am enjoying the CD. It provides very detailed information on the tools, properties, and other things that are new to someone not experienced with CBT authoring tools.

The Learning & Mastering... is one fine product. Our employees are fairly experienced ToolBook CBT developers, but they really like the training package from you folks!
