I need to develop some CBT training for the RP Techs . . . and I definitely don't want to use Microsoft PowerPoint (don't want another "page turner"). Does anyone know of a good authorware program that is relatively easy to configure, will run in Windows and doesn't cost $6,000. The final product will need to run on our intranet. I've been debating on brushing up on my old skills in Visual C or Visual Basic but I was hoping someone out there had already conquered this problem and might have a better solution.

Google: SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharable_Content_Object_Reference_Model) Compliant LMS (Learning Management System) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_management_system).
There is software that makes "scorm" compliant content, and software that hosts scorm content.
I recommend going that route. It can even be incorporated into NANTeL if you need to, or any other training software.

Wow! I asked for something that didn't cost $6,000. SCORM is $15,000 with a $3,000 annual fee. Perhaps I should have mentioned LESS THAN $6,000 (laughing). Actually, SCORM sounds like what I was looking for about 25 years ago - something that I could fit the authored program into.
I've been out of the loop too long. I'm probably not even asking the right questions. I need to develop CBT with a modest amount of interactivity built in - which PowerPoint won't do - so the Techs can go through the basic material but also have some interactivity to answer questions they may have while going through the basics. Perhaps I should sit down and story-board out what I want to do and then see which authoring program will let me do what I want . . . then I guess, go begging to get my bosses to buy it for me.

SCORM costs nothing. It is a language/standard like HTML or XML.
There is free software that makes SCORM compliant material.

I guess that's what I get for going to SCORM.com to find out more information.
