  • It's an amazing piece of work; you all should be very proud.
  • I was getting ready to start a big conversion project at the time (4 courses from Lectora to ToolBook) and was in desperate need of quick training. I was looking at either getting training from SumTotal or purchasing your CD. The CD gave me exactly what I needed to complete the course. Thanks for putting out such a great product.
  • You can't go wrong with Platte Canyon's Learning & Mastering ToolBook course.
  • 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 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 Learning & Mastering... is one fine product. Our employees are fairly experienced ToolBook CBT developers, but they really like the training package from you folks!
