Developed by Tom Hall and Lee Karns

The ToolBook Rapid Development Suite (RDS) is a collection of services, utilities, and ToolBook applications that integrate into a process of Web Based Training program development. Our goal is to work with you to put a process in place that enables you to more effectively create the training you need in the most efficient manner possible.

Why the RDS was Created

The financial success or failure of the development of training applications has much to do with managing the process so that the entire initiative meets budgetary expectations. The RDS was designed to streamline communication between Subject Matter Experts and programmers, and to create a programming system that capitalizes on the immense power of ToolBook's template capabilities.

This document is intended to acquaint you with the entire process of developing courses in ToolBook using this suite of tools and services.

Award Winner

A Verizon CIS version of this suite of tools was the SumTotal Productivity Tools Award Winner at TBCON 2005. See Press Release.
