wrong path.

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.

All of us ToolBook account managers for Click2Learn are anxious for the Instructor 2004 L&M to be released. We count on your CD for our customers who aren't able to attend a training or wish to have material for just-in-time training. Keep up the excellent work!

The Platte Canyon CD is your best bet unless you want a brain dump for a senior developer and even then your retention would not be as great.The "guru" would leave eventually and at anywhere between $750 to $1500 a day. The CD is a steal.

I started with ToolBook about four months ago and at that time purchased Platte Canyon's CBT called "Learning and Mastering ToolBook Instructor." It was very helpful. I was able to begin real development work right away.

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 really enjoy the details and the amount of information you have put into it. As you have stated in your marketing, this product is not only for beginners. You have successfully put together a product that will please novices as well as experts.
