- William Loucks,
e-learning technology manager, JP Morgan Chase & Co.

"Using ToolBook from SumTotal, we can create and deploy customized training modules quickly, and allowing our employees to access the training modules online has saved us more than $250K in travel fees alone. ToolBook version 9.5 offers new features that will enhance our current programs, including the ability to import content directly from Microsoft PowerPoint and opportunities to expand mobile learning, which Humana sees as a key success factor for our leadership development programs."

M.Ed., Instructional Technologist, National Education and Policy Development, Humana, Inc.

"To-date, we have created more than 300 courses with ToolBook, with more than 90,000 course completions among our employees. When we look at the ROI generated by that learning, we are seeing average gross benefits of $50 per employee per course. Additionally, several of the courses are tracking ROI of $150,000 to $200,000 in savings."

- Duane DeJager,
Manager of National E-learning Solutions at TELUS.

“We have definitely achieved our goals of saving time and increasing deployment … saved over 12,000 labor hours just at the Mesa facility in the last 13 months. That’s about $100K in savings after you take out the cost of the authoring software and training.”

"Much, much is going on at Luminant Studios around ToolBook!  I have been an intensive Authorware development for many, many years. We might say “we have discovered ToolBook.” The program is powerful and we’re very excited about many possibilities. I have found ways to implement all kinds of clever features using features built into ToolBook.  We are very excited to be using ToolBook."

"ToolBook is great for integrating multimedia assets such as audio, video and Adobe Flash. This, combined with Toolbook’s OpenScript language, allows us to develop high-end interactive training materials. ToolBook gives us a user-friendly software solution for providing e-learning that’s better than anything we could find on the market. We feel the content we build with ToolBook will run flawlessly on ResultsOnDemand because the same company makes both software products."

"ToolBook is one of the pioneers of web-based learning, and it continues to push the envelope of what’s possible beyond boring, page-turning content. Early versions of ToolBook gave us widgets to support rapid development, but the addition of SmartPages, in ToolBook Instructor 9, takes interactivity and speed of development to a whole new level. Novice developers will find it easier than ever to create engaging content that can be launched and tracked over a variety of learning management systems. Simply put, ToolBook Instructor 9 is faster and more flexible than earlier versions and it also promises to be easier to use."

"...If you are publishing to CD, I would look seriously at ToolBook Instructor; it's by SumTotal. You get a lot of flexibility and capabilities including Flash. There is also an outstanding user group that is very helpful..."

“We have made a very long-term investment in ToolBook on behalf of our clients. There is a level of flexibility inherent with ToolBook that other products lack. As training has migrated from floppy disks to CD-ROMs to LANs and now to the Internet, we have come to rely upon Click2Learn (now SumTotalSystems), to provide us solutions like ToolBook that are continually evolving to meet our clients’ needs.”

“ToolBook has been central to our success in helping customers leverage their corporate knowledge to address business issues and goals. ToolBook’s in-depth simulation capabilities, in particular, have been key factors in our ability to meet customer demands. Simulations are an essential element in increasing workforce productivity, particularly in readying employees to use mission-critical enterprise software applications, and ToolBook is the easiest, most robust solution we’ve found for rapid creating sophisticated simulations.”

“ToolBook ties seamlessly into the LMS, which makes development a whole lot easier. You just don't have as many integration steps.”

“The telecommunications industry is in transition and employees are under more pressure to quickly absorb business information pertinent to their jobs. We believe the organizations that will flourish will be those that can obtain, manage, distribute and uptake knowledge faster and cheaper than their competitors. ToolBook helps us address this rapid learning environment. We can deliver just-in-time information to our employees in a fraction of the time it would take using conventional training methods.”

"ToolBook allows educators to easily create nonlinear interactive learning materials that can contain context sensitive questions and responses, and branching to accommodate various learning levels. This authoring system has allowed me to create learning materials that are content rich, interactive, and compatible with a variety of learning styles. Because I can encode my pedagogical approach and expertise into the learning materials, students can be guided during their independent study. I have found it an excellent program for enhancing the learning environment.”
