Introduction to ToolBook Simulation Editor

Having a workforce that can productively use internal software applications and other business-related software is critical for many corporations. Using the ToolBook Simulation Editor, you can create interactive and accurate software simulations that provide learners with hands-on learning experiences and teach them what they need to know! This course provides you with a foundation for developing simulations and combines a traditional, instructor-led training approach with hands-on, interactive workshops and coaching.

Course Objectives

After taking this course, you will be able to:

  • Design software simulations to meet your learning objectives.
  • Develop simulations that can be used to demonstrate features, give learners opportunities to practice steps, and test learners on their interactions.
  • Add instructions and feedback to simulations.
  • Add custom functionality to simulations to make objects hide and show, and respond to specific simulation events.
  • Create an application recording using the Sim AutoBuilder Recorder.
  • Generate and modify simulations from Sim AutoBuilder recordings.
  • Create menus to allow learners to trigger a simulation to operate.
  • Make simulation templates to speed up the development process.

Who is this training for?

This training is intended for users who want to:

  • Move beyond the basics of ToolBook and want to create interactive courses rapidly
  • Create some amount of custom interaction
  • Explore the potential of more advanced features that allow custom development
