With comprehensive facilities for organizing information, and open interfaces for combining content from any source, TopClass Publisher can be used to develop courses across the entire range of training applications. Course designers see a complete picture of the course structure, and can combine and rearrange materials by dragging and dropping. New content can be developed using the authoring tools they already know. Existing HTML pages and Microsoft PowerPoint and Word files can be imported by dragging them into the program window. All of the facilities needed to assemble and structure courses along with comprehensive test development facilities are included.
Courses can include any material that can be delivered over the Web.
TopClass Publisher can incorporate content created in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, with full access to those products' multimedia features. All standard web page design tools like Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, or Adobe PageMill can be accessed directly from within Publisher. Publisher can incorporate animation created with any tool that provides a web plug-in, including Click2Learn Toolbook, Macromedia Director and Flash, as well as video streaming technologies like Microsoft Windows Media and RealNetworks Real Media. Create and test courses anywhere and upload courses to TopClass for deployment. Publisher works with TopClass Player, a tool that lets users access courses offline using any web browser.
