Books

Commercial vendors

The following companies provide WBT and CBT products and services. I have only mildly investigated them, so I cannot vouch for their abilities. If you can provide feedback on any of them, I would be glad to post that information.

Authoring tools and systems

Adobe – Sells authoring software. Authorware is the industry standard for CBT development and can also be used for WBT with their streaming technology. Coursebuilder is used with their Dreamweaver product for developing WBT applications, using JavaScript.

Training management

Blackboard.com seems to be a means for instructors to put their course material or resources online. They have a good listing of courses, but most seem to be private for a given school. Blackboard.com is owned by Blackboard.com Inc. I am not sure who is sponsoring what they are doing.
