Computer-based Training Development
Although this term is often used interchangeably with web-based training, we usually think of computer–based training (CBT) as eLearning delivered via CD–ROM or local area network.
Using
an array of multimedia (animation,
simulation, video, narration, sound
effects, photographs, and illustrations)
delivered at speeds that are not constrained
by bandwith, CBT can be one of the
most powerful delivery methods available.
Full-screen environments and video
can be presented, and there is no
need to bother with plug–in
technologies.
On the down side, when courses are running from a CD or the student’s local hard drive, keeping track of their progress and successes for reporting purposes can be difficult. In addition, updating information may be expensive and time-consuming compared to web-based training.
Most CD–based courses we’ve created in recent years have actually been hybrid CDs, taking advantage of the best of CD and web technologies. Hybrid CDs offer all the power, speed, and beauty of CD–based delivery while still being able to take advantage of web-based benefits like up–to–date information and tests that can be easily tracked at a central location.
We have many CBT/eLearning examples in our portfolio. Be sure to check them out, and contact us about your CBT project.
