KnowledgePro Windows: the order of merit?
Abstract
The producers of KnowledgePro look set with their latest release of KPWIN (KnowledgePro Windows) to fulfil Richard Hale-Shaw's prophecy that it will become 'one of the most powerful visual development environments' (Hale-Shaw 1992). Comparisons are drawn in this paper between the KPWIN family of products and other authoring tools. The conclusion is that KPWIN is worthy of being included in any courseware developer's tool set. Reasons for preferring a tool from the KnowledgePro family of products for courseware development over three main competitors - Authorware, Toolbook and Visual Basic - are explained, and the merits of KPWIN and KPWIN++ (a version that generates C++ code) are examined.
