Computer-Based Trainings (CBTs) are self-paced learning activities accessible via a
computer or handheld device. CBTs typically present content in a linear fashion, much like
reading an online book or manual. For this reason they are often used to teach static
processes, such as using software or completing mathematical equations. The term Computer-
Based Training is often used interchangeably with Web-based training (WBT) with the
primary difference being the delivery method. Where CBTs are typically delivered via CDROM,
WBTs are delivered via the Internet using a web browser. Assessing learning in a CBT
usually comes in the form of multiple-choice questions, or other assessments that can be
easily scored by a computer such as drag-and-drop, radial button, simulation or other
interactive means. Assessments are easily scored and recorded via online software, providing
immediate end-user feedback and completion status. Users are often able to print completion
records in the form of certificates.
