Training with Technology Using technology to make the learning process more smarter COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Definition of Computer Based Training (CBT) • Computer-based training is, in a general sense, a reproducible system of instruction conveyed through the use of a computer for the purpose of training an individual. • Simply stated, computer-based training (CBT) is training that is done at a computer instead of in a classroom or by reading a book.. COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
CBT programs can be classified as: 1. Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI), in which the program provides drill (tool) and practice. 2. Computer-Managed Instruction (CMO), in which the program evaluates the student's test performance, guides him/her to appropriate instructional resources and tracks progress; and 3. Computer-Enriched Instruction (CEI) in which the computer serves as a simulator or programming device. COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
