TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Depends on how you are going to deliver the course. Is it going to be an instructor-lead course, or just teach yourself Web page or CD-ROM? Maybe you do not need a special tool at all.
If you wish to use a software, try Toolbook [http://www.asymetrix.com/en/toolbook/]. You can download a 30-day trial version. But it is unlikely that it can handle FrameMaker files.
We use Blackboard.com [see:http://coursesites.blackboard.com/]- to deliver and administer our courses. It's free and pretty good, supports HTML materials, so you do not need a special software. It allows you to upload files, design on-line test, chat with students, make on-line gradebook... In this case you can make HTML or PDF files from FrameMaker.
Regards,
Larisa

I need to create an online course based on a training workbook that was
created using FrameMaker. I have no idea what tool to use or if there is a
tool that does that kind of conversion. Or do I need to start from scratch?
I've seen plenty of online courses out there, but I don't know how they were
created. Any help is appreciated.
