New features of version 9:
-
Fully 32-bit: ToolBook has been completely re-engineered
to be completely 32-bit. This increases stability, eases installation, and
noticeably improves performance in many areas. Instructor 9 works great in
Vista™ as well.
-
SmartPages™ and SmartStyles™: These great new features make
it even easier for authors and Subject Matter Experts to develop a course and
ensure that all courses meet the same instructional design goals. SmartPages
provide over over a dozen interactive page types for you to choose from. SmartStyles
offer the flexibility to quickly change the entire look and feel of a course
with the click of a mouse. Both are based on CSS and XML and can be customized
to meet your specific project needs.
-
Book Explorer: The new Book Explorer
gives you more information and better control when working with your content.
The Explorer provides fast and easy access to all pages, objects, and
backgrounds for ordering, layering, and setting other properties.
-
Enhanced Assessments: ToolBook’s strong assessment
support has been further expanded. With this release, you can now easily see
the total number of questions - and their types - in a course. Question
randomization can easily be turned on or off and the number of randomization
questions can be quickly adjusted. The enhanced Quiz Summary feature provides
useful statistics on the quiz and allows the author to generate a text file
that contains details for each question.
-
Improved User Interface, AutoPackager, Web Support: Instructor
9 has a new jazzy interface, a more capable native installer, a new Go To
feature, support for the newest browsers, and much more!

At Platte Canyon, our developers say they like Instructor for the following
features:
-
Powerful: Instructor has the capabilities to do everything we
have dreamed up so far.
-
Easy-to-Use: Drag and Drop extended objects, Draw Buttons,
Import Graphics, even the scripting language (OpenScript) uses natural
language.
-
Dynamic: Instructor's interface and capabilities may be
enhanced through add-ons such as the Plug-In Pro.
-
Expandable: Instructor's support of ActiveX controls allows
your courses to incorporate content and materials from other packages.
For instance, developers may easily use Flash movies in their ToolBook courses.
-
Fast: Instructor allows us to be more efficient than with any
other Authoring tool we have seen.
-
Flexible:
applications created with Instructor may be deployed via "traditional methods"
such as CD-ROM. They may also be exported to a web-ready set of DHTML
files. This ability to deliver in multiple ways offers the developer wonderful
choices when deciding on the delivery platform for a training application.
-
Easy to Learn: if you purchase our training CD series entitled
"Learning & Mastering ToolBook Instructor," you'll be developing killer
training applications in no time.
Instructor compared to Assistant
Instructor has everything Assistant has and a lot more. We recommend
that at least one member of the development team have ToolBook Instructor.
Instructor provides the developer the opportunity to use the OpenScript
scripting language if desired. It also has the Actions Editor, which is a
dialog-box-driven scripting language that may easily be exported to the
web. Finally, Instructor has the powerful Simulation Editor, which allows
you to create awesome software and other types of simulations. For beginner
developers, it is easy to create a course just as you would in Assistant.
However, when you create your fourth or fifth course and you now want some sort
of custom behavior, you will be very glad you purchased Instructor.
