ToolBook

ToolBook was a Microsoft Windows based e-learning content authoring application, initially released in 1990 by Asymetrix Corporation, now SumTotal Systems. ToolBook uses a book metaphor — a project file is thought of as a book containing pages of content. This is very similar to Microsoft PowerPoint’s use of the metaphor where presentations contain various slides. ToolBook was often compared to HyperCard and Visual Basic.

The first version of ToolBook was demonstrated in 1990 episode of The Computer Chronicles, in an episode about Windows 3.0.

The final version of ToolBook was 11.5. It was released in December 2012.

SumTotal Systems ended all sales and support of ToolBook on December 31, 2021. This also ended the ability to Activate ToolBook installations on new computers. All information about ToolBook has been scrubbed from the company website.
