You rely on your employees to understand your business, and their roles and responsibilities within that business. You need your sales team to be fully knowledgeable about the product line. In fact, your organization probably has many internal and external stakeholders to whom you impart specialized knowledge through formal and informal training. Much of that training is inconsistent and
undocumented.
Short for Web-based training, a generic term for training and/or instruction delivered over the Internet or an intranet using a Web browser. Web-based training includes static methods -- such as streaming audio and video, hyperlinked Web pages, live Web broadcasts, and portals of information -- and interactive methods -- such as bulletin boards, chat rooms, instant messaging, videoconferencing and
discussion threads.
Businesses often use Web-based training to educate employees. The instruction can be facilitated and paced by the trainer or self-directed and paced by the trainee.
Whether it is product knowledge, explanation of services, software training, legal issues, interactive reference manuals, or company policies & procedures, computer based training (WBT) is the most effective cost-efficient method to impart knowledge, offering many inherent benefits unparalleled in any other medium.
Here are 10 reasons why web based training (WBT) is better than traditional methods of training.
- Less expensive
- Easy to implement
- Convenient and accessible (from anywhere at any pace)
- Improved retention
- 40-60% less time consuming
- Individualized Instruction
- Refresher training is an added cost-free benefit
- Consistent quality of instruction (quality assurance)
- Precise tracking and measurability
- Easy and inexpensive to update or improve
Web Based Training (WBT) captivates your audience with stimulating explanations that make use of cutting-edge multimedia techniques including graphics, photographs, animation, sound, motion video and simulations.
Quizzes, summaries and various other traditional education methods create a truly dynamic interactive training/education session. Moreover, WBT provides 24/7 instant accessibility for all.
When CBT met the web
The web is fast becoming the medium of choice for computer-based training (CBT). At least, that’s what people are saying. In fact there isn’t much of what is now being called web-based training (WBT) about yet and there’s a great deal of doubt and uncertainty about how that situation can be remedied.
When CBT met the web, there was an inevitable clash of cultures. The world of CBT is a world of authoring systems, multimedia and CD-ROM. The web brings with it an array of radically different and fast moving development technologies from humble HTML, through scripting languages, Java and ActiveX and on to database-driven server-end programs.
Because of the promise of online learning for both education and training, there is a rush to provide the tools that will help to generate the millions of hours of learning content that will be needed. From one end, the makers of CBT authoring systems have been busy adapting their software so the resulting courseware can be delivered through a browser. At the other end, makers of web tools are
keen to incorporate features that facilitate learning.
