I was somewhat surprised that my post: Course Authoring and Rapid eLearning Tool Satisfaction didn't generate more interest. This data shows that the Articulate tools, Adobe Captivate and Dreamweaver and Lectora are near the top for elearning course authoring. While tools such as Toolbook and Authorware are down a bit.

This authoring tool was Toolbook, and I believe it was version 9. Based on that, you might think that I would be qualified to at least offer my opinion with a comparison between Toolbook and Captivate, but I feel differently. I’ve not actively used Toolbook in many years. I presently use the current release of Captivate.

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.

You will produce a lot more as web/wiki pages instead of course pages. And when you produce courses, in a lot of cases you’ll stick with what the authoring tools give you out of the box.

The RCAT market, regardless if it is fee based or not, has come down to a single key question: What is a WBT course? If a RCAT vendor tells you they have been in business for over 10 years, they are somewhat misleading, since WBT courses really didn’t start to hit the mark until 2000 and then you have limited choices on how to build.

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”.
