Selecting and Implementing Computer-Based Training

Brett Bixler is the lead instructional designer at Educational Technology Services, part of Penn State University. Bixler and Terri Bergman wrote this guide to help businesses discover if computer-based training (CBT) is the best delivery method for training.

The guide is created for individuals trying to determine if CBT is the best delivery method for needed training. It contains an overview of CBT terminology and worksheets to show the value of CBT training versus traditional training methods.

Because determining ROI on the training investment, it is vital to look at different vendors who offer various degrees of CBT. Some companies may be looking for an off-the-shelf, all-in-one package while others may need a highly customized CBT for a very specific topic. A list of resources are available at the web site to give individuals and companies a starting point.

Worksheets providing questions about vendor services are available to aid businesses in their training selection
