5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on CourseBuilder, May 29, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Using Dreamweaver to Create e-Learning: A comprehensive guide to CourseBuilder and Learning Site (Paperback)
While I have purchased another book on CourseBuilder, this one is far more comprehensive. It teaches you how to use all of the features of CourseBuilder in a easy to read fashion, using practical examples. It also helps you to learn how to customize CourseBuilder interactions so that you can use them in real eLearning situations.

By A Customer
This review is from: Using Dreamweaver to Create e-Learning: A comprehensive guide to CourseBuilder and Learning Site (Paperback)
If only CourseBuilder were as reliable as FLASH to create eLearning components. CourseBuilder isn't exactly the most stable platform in the world.
