I’ve seen a number of people asking about the Coursebuilder extensions that are installed to Dreamweaver CS4 in the Adobe eLearning Suite. and SCORM 2004 along with AICC. Specifically, people have been trying to find out what is different between this version of Coursebuilder, and the version that was available a few years ago.

Each of these platforms are unique, but they are not SCORM, AICC, or xAPI conformant, which means the courses built on these platforms can not be exported for use in another platform or a learning management system (LMS). What if your courses have features you can’t use in these environments?

Macromedia Dreamweaver came out with templates. Dreamweaver was the tool to use for web design and development. The moment I saw how many of my contemporaries were using Dreamweaver Templates to build courses, I knew the end for the complex tools were coming. Output was AICC (boo) and SCORM. Storyboards were common.

Over the years, I have used ToolBook, Trainersoft, and even Dreamweaver with Coursebuilder. I really prefer the robust ability of creating courses in Flash and only use the DHTML e-learning authoring tools for their ability to make the course SCORM or AICC compliant. These courses can be published as SCORM or AICC compliant courses.

Other fun tidbits AICC was the leader here, then came SCORM. There were LMS vendors certified by AICC, but the majority were not, and yes, some said they were, then you go to the AICC web site and see that they are not. The first inkling of RCATs was a product called Dreamweaver, which was designed for web site design.

Being able to add quizzes and publish SCORM/AICC compliant courses is a big plus too. Being able to create SCORM/AICC compliant courses that imports Flash SWF files and plays well with the LMS makes my ability to implement e-learning much easier. DHTML authoring tool - My preference is OutStart Trainer (TrainerSoft).
