How can Create Computer Based Training

Computer-based Training (CBT) can be defined any form of educational or instructional material accessible or designed for use on computer. Computer-based Training is convenient for easier to keep updated and more than simple printed material but also depending on design, can give the developer or administrator to the ability to track who has completed for the training. While developing computer-based training will become easier the more we do it for the initial costs to obtain for the necessary software and licenses can be expensive.

Things for Need

·         Desktop or laptop computer
·         High-speed/broadband internet connection
·         Removable and dedicated hard drive or digital storage

Creating Computer-Based Training

1.      Acquire computer-based training software. Because of the rapid rise in the popularity combined to the drastic fall in to the requirement for computer programming skills, there are quite with many computer-based training software suites available for the purchase. Taking our particular needs into consideration, we should research the capabilities of each of them. Most of the suites offer a free, limited-time trial, but are prepared that the functionality of the suites can be limited until we purchase the software.


2.      Divide our training material into 20 to 30 minute segments. Computer-based training is most effective when we can maintain a sense of accomplishment in the participant. Lengthy of online training sessions can have the same effect as lengthy instructor-led trainings, namely to the participants will become bored and lose focus. Seek to keep our information in small, graspable lessons. The participants' retention for the information will be higher.


3.      Attempt to use for two of the three methods of learning at all times visual, audible and kinesthetic. Provide of the pictures or visual examples of the topics or subjects being taught. Most CBT suites allow us to record narration along with visual elements. The more effective suites will allow us to create quizzes, games, challenges and other ways to check out for the participants understanding and retention of the information they've learned. Strive to use all of these elements in each training module.


4.      Publish for the modules to removable or dedicated file storage. Computer-based training modules are the large files. They will take up space on our hard drive and slow down our system very quickly. Saving and publishing that files to a dedicated hard drive or other digital storage drive will not only to keep our computer running smoothly, but will also keep of the training in one place.


5.      Test all to the computer-based training our self. Check for the spelling and other grammatical errors. Ensure that all kinds of graphics, videos, activities and narration are working in properly. If we have included a quiz or test to check for understanding, to make sure that the questions are clear and understandable and the answers are correct. It is a very good idea to have two or three other people test for the training as well to catch mistakes we may have overlooked.
