How does Computer Based Training Work?
Computer based training is typically based on a piece of interactive software. This CBT software is created by a team of designers, and incorporates all of the knowledge that a student needs to know. Once the software has been loaded on to the computer, typically through CD-ROM, the student can access interactive tutorials, exercises, and quizzes. The student works through each of these different “lessons,” picking up skills by using and practicing them with the computer based training software. Types of Computer Based Training: There are three main types of computer based training: • CD ROM Based Training: CD-ROM based training uses simple CD-ROMs to deliver tutorials to your computer. It is the most inexpensive type of computer based training and is usually only used by one student at a time. • LAN Based Training: LAN based training uses software that is installed on a local area network. This allows a number of different users on the same computer network to access course materials.
