In the past months, I have been staging for a rewrite of my books for the most anticipated Blackcomb release of ToolBook. Prior to this time, I had chosen not to rewrite the Introduction to ToolBook Instructor 8.5 for ToolBook Instructor 2004 since at the intro level, there were no real changes that affected the lessons in that book. I had, however, wrote an Actions Editor/Simulation/HTTP post book for Instructor 2004. To be prepared for a smooth transition to Blackcomb, I have done a slight revision of the Intro to 8.5 book to bring it up to date with Instructor 2004 SP3. Likewise, a few minor edits to the Actions Editor book to bring it up to date for SP3. Another goal I had was to reduce confusion as to what books to order for those just getting into ToolBook.

Platte Canyon is pleased to announce that there will now be co-located conferences each summer in Colorado Springs: The ToolBook User’s Conference and The e-Learning Authoring Conference. The first one will feature the ToolBook content that you have grown to love as well as the opportunity to interact directly with the SumTotal development and management team. The new e-Learning Authoring Conference will provide similar opportunities for developers using Flash, .NET, or ToolBook. It will also have a special management track covering SCORM, estimating, quality assurance, marketing, and similar topics. What both conferences will have in common is a relaxed atmosphere, the opportunity to mix with the best developers in the world, great food and drink, and an unbeatable price. Read more »

I have created a summary (including a link to download an example) of a strategy to allow use of Toolbook to wrap arbitrary html content for export to an LMS (basically any LMS that Toolbook supports). There are some small gotchas but overall the strategy works well.
