Its nearly Halloween and with that comes the shocking and fearful excitement or lack thereof of the scariest things on the plane appearing at the movie theaters, in costumes, television and for us, the course authoring tool market.

Back when I first started developing e-learning courses, I used Macromedia's Authorware. Over the years, I have used ToolBook, Trainersoft, and even Dreamweaver with Coursebuilder.

When I first got into designing and developing eLearning, it was around 2004, and the first authoring tool I used was Adobe Captivate 2.0. This authoring tool was Toolbook, and I believe it was version 9. I’ve not actively used Toolbook in many years. Most of what I learned about Toolbook has faded from memory.

When courses were needed to be developed and built, anyone who came upon this challenge, realized that the importance of comprehension, retention and synthesis, would be based on the design, mechanisms and delivery of said content.

This I should note is different than the common way – most common – whereas you upload your courses directly into the LMS whether it be via a desktop or SaaS. You can use any third party authoring tool that accepts whatever course standards the LMS accepts. Afterwards, when you make changes to the course, fix it and push.

The RCAT market, regardless if it is fee based or not, has come down to a single key question: What is a WBT course?

I will be dating myself here, but so much of the orthodoxy in the instructional design process was forged back in the late 80’s and early 90’s when the only Computer-Based Training (CBT) tools were Toolbook for the PC, and Hypercard for the Mac. Due to the technical constraints it became a law that “pages must not scroll”.

The other situation is if you are building something that is not a course, e.g., it's reference material. in the eLearning world.
