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.
-
I would recommend you take a look at the Learning & Mastering ToolBook product from Platte Canyon. It is a great product and I have used it with much success to train new employees in the past.

The Platte Canyon program is the gold standard. I wouldn't say that it takes the place of the reference manuals because each serves its purpose, but obviously it is able to demonstrate things that you can only describe in a book. Is it better than a week long seminar? There are advantages to each, but the CD is something that you will have and will be able to refer
back to again and again. While ToolBook makes it easy for non-programmers to create CBT, I have found that there is a lot to learn about ToolBook. If you have a programming background, you should be able to get up to speed quickly and the books and Platte Canyon CD will give you the tips that you need to get the most from ToolBook. If you don't have a programming background, then you really need these tools to help you get off to a good solid start.
-
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.
-
I would heartily recommend the "Learning & Mastering" CD from Platte Canyon. It's got all the tips, tricks, and code you'll need to get you off to a good start.
-
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.
