Approach to Web-Based Training

There are a number of ways in which W/CBT can be presented to the student; each has its own advantages and disadvantages, as will be discussed


Instructor-led CBT in Classroom

This is the most traditional "teaching" arrangement. The instructor leads the class through the course material (usually in a terse "bullet-point" format more suitable for large-screen display) at a pace dictated by the instructor him/herself.

  • Pro: Low equipment costs, as students do not require individual computers or other hardware
  • Pro: Instructor's expertise is immediately available to students
  • Con: Instructor sets the pace of learning, not the students
  • Con: Students cannot make use of the interactive elements in the training material - they can only observe as the instructor demonstrates.
  • Con: Information displayed "overhead" in this manner must be heavily condensed, and elaborated on by the instructor during the class.
  • Con: Comparatively high operating costs for classroom facilities
  • Con: All participants must be present at the same time to benefit from the available instruction
