• I received the "Learning & Mastering" CBT and love it. I hope I can someday make some as well thought out and implemented. This CBT is awesome, fun and inspiring. Great job!

• I really love the CD. This is the first time I have really taken the time to go through one of them so thoroughly! I particularly like all the extra articles (info) you include from Tim, et. al. and your helpful hints.

• 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.

• You all do such extremely high quality work. Your Learning & Mastering series is phenomenal. I know that it has benefited me. In fact I'm going to revisit it over the next month or so.

• 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 bought the CD and learned a substantial amount in a short period of time.
