  • I also have effectively used the Learning & Mastery CD from Platte Canyon for my own learning.
  • The Learning & Mastering ToolBook Instructor CD's from Platte Canyon are very good. After spending the time going through the CD, a couple of days, you should be able to develop ToolBook apps. Plus, the CD was built with ToolBook, so you can open tbk file in Instructor and see how the course itself was built and works.
  • The Platte Canyon Learning & Mastering is probably the most interactive bit of multimedia training I've ever experienced. That is probably because they were in charge of the effort and controlled the schedule and budget AND knew the subject matter.
  • It is really both a good beginners guide to ToolBook, as well a very good source of inspiration & information for more experienced ToolBook users. I spent quite a bit of time with it, and I suspect that I'll keep returning to it for inspiration.
  • There seemed to be a lot of attention and detail in the tutorial and plenty of demonstrations and interactive experiences for the learner. Overall, we would say that this is a worthy investment. There is really nothing like it on the market and it is sure to become popular quickly.
