Good Train, bad technology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Multimedia Training: Developing Technology-Based Systems (Mcgraw-Hill Series on Visual Technology) (Paperback)
"Multimedia Training" is an excellent book for CBT and the techniques of making the training as effective and fun as possible. The examples are good but use Macromedia's Authorware 3 with the files using Authorware 2 formats. The current version of the program is 4. The files do not open, the features of the program do not work and with the changes make to create version 4 make the notation obsolete and confusing. Again the training ideas are great but the delivery system has to be updated. Since the heart of Computer Based Training is handling change, this book fails in its own backyard.

Excellent hands on guide. However...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Multimedia Training: Developing Technology-Based Systems (Mcgraw-Hill Series on Visual Technology) (Paperback)
I found this book an excellent introduction to the development of TBL methods and software. The authors obviously know what they are writing about. My only complaint is that none of the lessons included as examples on the accompanying disk work as the book suggests. Specifically, the *.apw files which are supposed to open "when double-clicked in file manager" come up with a "feature not activated" comment. This is a pity. It would have been useful to see the working version of the example(s) before doing the lesson
