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)
Factors Affecting Technology Use in Training · Environment · Course design · Trainee characteristics · Trainer proficiency · Management support · Technological support COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Environment (Smart Classroom Factors) · Wiring system ( Cables, wireless) · Seating (work stations or spread out seating) · Temperature control · View or sight lines · Lighting (brighter projection, backlit projection, zone lighting) · Audio · Security ·Mobility · S/W (Learning Management System LMS S/W) COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Trainee Characteristics • Willingness to learn • Basic computer skills • · Time management skills • · Problem solving skills COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Trainer Proficiency · Confidence · Positive attitude · Ability to generate ideas · Ability to work as a team player Note: It takes twice the amount of time to prepare a course using a new technology. COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Course Design • Interactivity : Users can take feedback from the system • Reusability : divided in parts that can be useful in different scenarios • Portability: can be used in different LMSs COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Management Role in Tech Training · Set goals · Accept change · Empower · Use a team approach · Benchmark COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Types of Training Media · Video ·Computer Based Training (CBT) · Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) · Web-Based Training (WBT) COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Video Advantages · Low cost · High quality · Auditory instruction · Portability · Consistent information · Easy to administer COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Video Disadvantages · Lack of interaction between trainees · Lack of personalization · Lack of control by the trainer · Lack of group interaction COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Computer-Based Training (CBT) Lesson is delivered on a computer without trainer involvement. · Disk · CD-Rom /DVD • Personal data assistants COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
CBT Advantages · Improved learning because multiple modes of media are used · Proceed at trainer’s pace · Immediate feedback · Trainer as coach • Consistent content • Measurability • Customization COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
CBT Disadvantages · Implementation costs • Hardware and software requirements ·Technological support needed · Unfamiliar medium • Difficulty in interpreting the content • Low or no interaction (in-person interaction) COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
CBT Components · Tutorials · Drill and skill · Problem solving · Games · Simulation COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT)
