ToolBook Assistant is an e-Learning authoring program that is
specifically designed for ease of use. Its intuitive interface is ideal for
those who want to create interactive learning applications quickly, without
programming. Using the simple drag-and-drop interface in Assistant allows anyone
to author effective standards-based courses.
E-Learning authoring made easy
Assistant allows anyone to create and deliver effective online training and
educational content quickly, easily, and economically. Using Assistant's
intuitive drag and drop interface, trainers, subject matter experts, and
educators-virtually anyone with information to share-can create high-quality
e-Learning content in three simple steps. Just point, click, and author!
The catalog contains the authoring objects you use to build your interactive
content-assessment objects, media players, navigation panels, and other
interactive objects, many with predefined behavior that you can customize. To
include an object, you simply drag it from the catalog to your page or
background.
Assistant's Book Specialists save you time by automating the task of creating
the layout of your e-Learning content. The wizard-like Specialists prompt you
for choices about how you want your e-Learning content to appear and behave.
Strong e-Learning Standards Support
Assistant provides support for the SCORM tracking standards, as well as AICC and
LRN. With this rich level of standards support, you can be safe in knowing that
your e-Learning content can be deployed, managed and tracked by any
standards-based learning management system.
Web Deployment Without Plug-ins
Assistant allows you to deliver your e-Learning content on the Internet or an
intranet, a local area network (LAN), or on a CD-ROM. Assistant can
automatically convert your content to DHTML, allowing you to bring a high level
of interactivity to your Web-based courseware without requiring the use of
plug-ins.
Assessment Objects
Assistant has over ten assessment object types-true/false, multiple choice, drag
and drop, match item, essay and more-that test your users on their understanding
of your content. These objects have built-in behavior that provides feedback to
your users and supplies you with information about how your users respond to
these questions.
Rich Media Support and Professional Templates
Assistant allows you to play a wide variety of media files, including sound,
animation, digital video, streaming media, and still images. Assistant supports
Flash animation files, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player formats, and numerous
other popular file formats, such as GIF and JPEG files.
Assistant contains over thirty professionally designed templates that assist
you in creating effective e-Learning content. In addition to using the pre-built
templates, you can also create your own custom templates tailored to your own
training practices and custom look-and-feel.
Animation Capabilities
You can use Assistant's animation features to add visual impact to your
e-Learning content, including simulations of how objects change or move over
time. Assistant has both path-based animation and cel-based animation to allow
you to easily create compelling animations for use in your e-Learning content.
