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.

We have found the CD a real help!

I would like to add that I think the Learning & Mastering CD is one of the best tools for learning all the aspects of ToolBook I've ever seen. I've been through the ToolBook course with an approved instructor and the CD. I feel that this CD is worth a lot more than the asking price. It would behoove and organization to purchase this CD and I hardly ever use the word behoove.

I've got to second Jocelyn's recommendation for "Learning and Mastering ToolBook Instructor"! A great product from every perspective. The L&M module itself is an excellent example of what you can accomplish using ToolBook. The content is very comprehensive and laid out in a way that even the greenest ToolBooker can follow while not boring the more experienced user. I've learned an awful lot just by browsing the code and trying to understand all the things that make this little jewel tick. As I don't have a formal programming background, it's been an excellent reference in learning to code the *right* way.

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 Platte Canyon Instructor CBT is excellent! As a semi-advanced developer, I couldn't wait to study the code behind this training. In fact, I probably spent 2 hours studying system book code before I got to course menu. I've had a difficult time finding useful examples of advanced OpenScript on the Web, but the Instructor CBT provides a library of them. Two particularly
useful Neuron deployment tips have really improved my Web-based course distributions. The Microsoft Agent code examples, alone, are worth the price of admission. Thanks for a super product! I'm really glad Platte Canyon is around to provide 3rd party products for ToolBook.

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.
