CBT

In the jet age of today, where everything is operated by computers, leaving no domain of life including learning and education. The learning and education is imparted by the computers via E-Learning or Electronic Learning, but it dos not function in isolation, therefore to let it happen efficiently there are technologies in use namely CBT & WBT.

WHAT ARE CBT AND WBT?

To understand them we will deal with them on by one. The first one is CBT.

CBT is the abbreviation of the term CD-BASED TRAINING. This is a new age way of learning. It is a form of education program in which the students learn by using special training programs on a computer. Nowadays, the CBT has expanded its wings in a wide dimension.

This type of training has several advantages over traditional classrooms learning sessions and self-taught books. The advantages of CBT like- it is a kind of training which helps a learner to think, respond and give prompt feedback on the subject, whereas it was never possible in traditional learning method, specially the prompt feedback. CBT helps a learner to think providing enough time, rather than rushing from one topic/subject to the next. Another advantage of CBT is that it offers a stimulating environment where the learner can learn at his/her own pace. This is a very important point, as each learner has a different level of understanding and pace of understanding. In traditional classrooms, the instructor just gives the lecture and few grasp it and few don’t, due to the difference in their pace level, therefore allowing some to understand and some just get lost while learning, but CBT works according to the learners pace. Not just pace but also the convenience of the learner. A learner can choose a course according to his/hr own convenience, understanding and affordability without wasting time and trouble of traveling.

Since it is accessible to a wide range of audience at multi-locations, therefore it is cost-effective for the learners. While traditional learning dos not offer its accessibility to a large audience and centers are also limited, so CBT proves to be a better choice. Another advantage of CBT is that it can be Custom-Designed for specific industries that mean it does not restrict itself to few domains, but can be used conveniently by any field, including physically challenged. Though traditional learning approach does offer courses to physically challenged, but how many avail it? Accessibility is lacking therefore the opportunity is wasted.

CBT also cuts down the cost of an instructor, saving a lot of money for organizing training classes. Traditional classes cannot operate without an instructor, therefore costing much.

It is a training program that may contain different types of media- audio-video programming that allows the learner to interact, understand and use the information. It is a kind of a training that is self-testing, helps the learner to choose paths, find options by using the referred material. CD- Based Training has all the necessary content required by the learner.

CBT does not require internet connection to impart its knowledge therefore reduces the cost of training. It is an ideal training for large courses, as a lot of time is required to complete the course the learner can either download the course or use it whenever required.

INDEED A VERY GOOD TRAINING PROGRAM!

WBT

Now the second term WBT, have you got a little idea about it after knowing CBT, if no, then WBT means WEB-BASED TRAINING.

Web-Based Training is basically about the training in which the material is made accessible on the internet by applying Web Technologies. It contains text and graphics, animation and audio-video, etc. This training needs additional bandwidth and software to work at its optimum level. Nowadays, if you surf the internet, you would find that there are several courses available and instructions come with it too, these Online Courses are WBT or Web Based Instructions.

The latest content of any topic is modified and is set in a framework of self directed and self paced instructions in WBT.

The advantages of WBT are as follows:

At first, training is very easily delivered to the users. Since it is available on the internet therefore the learner doesn’t have to travel anywhere far off, but just to the nearest computer having internet connection.

Secondly, WBT’s are not restricted kind of trainings meaning that they can either be in the form of individual or group training. This depends entirely on the choice and need of the learner.

Thirdly, WBT’s have huge capabilities rather a multi platform capabilities in which several things can be operated such as Windows, Mac, UNIX, PDA, phone and many more

Fourth, a very interesting and well required advantage, that is, content can be updated. If the content is updated, then the accurate information will be imparted and accurate training will be provided.

Fifth, with minimal technical support requirement WBT can provide best information to the users and the finished product proves to be fruitful information for the user.

Sixth, access can be controlled via WBT. This is a very useful and important advantage too. As it will block those users who do not qualify to use the course by not giving them any support to move on, hence by creating any trouble from the beginning itself.

Seventh, as mentioned earlier that it is not a restricted kind of training, but a flexible one, therefore, it can be linked with other training programs and systems, providing well formulated information and knowledgeable training.

Last, but not the least, EPSS. The Electronic Performance Support System can multitask is another advantage of WBT, as multitasking means doing several tasks at on time, hence saving time and energy.

Both of these trainings- CBT and WBT are presented to you with its advantages so that we can prove our point that they provide good training to the learners. Today’s learner believes in computer, internet, and e-learning based trainings very vital and we support them. They have proved to be beneficial in very aspect as in they are used.
