Web-Based Training

Catalog description

Introduction to the design and development of websites for computer-based instruction in the workplace. TRDEV 532 Web-Based Training (3) Computer-Based Training (CBT), Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI), Computer-Based Education (CBE), Interactive Multimedia (IMM), and Web-Based Training (WBT) are all terms used to describe the delivery of learning materials via computer. The recent rapid increase in these types of programs can be partially attributed to the development of software authoring tools. These allow developers to create computer-based programs through easy-to-learn Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) without requiring extensive knowledge of programming and programming languages. Most recently, the World Wide Web (WWW) has offered a way of distributing training materials through a broader electronic network. Thus, Web-Based Training, or WBT, is becoming increasingly important as a tool for Trainers. Its "language" is primarily HTML.The primary goal of this course is for you, the student, to demonstrate competency in applying design theory while using Web tools to develop a WWW-based module.
