Electronic Training Ø Training that is mediated in some respect by a computer or other electronic, information processing device. § Sometimes called Computer Based Training (CBT) § Typically delivered through internet, intranet, or storage device (USB, CD, DVD and so on) Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall
Types of Electronic Training Ø Programmed Instruction § Base technology for most CBT Ø Intelligent Tutoring Systems Ø Interactive Multimedia Ø Virtual Reality Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall
Programmed Instruction (PI) Ø Used in ET programs Ø Consists of text, graphics, and multimedia enhancements stored in memory and connected to one another electronically. Ø Learning material is grouped into chunks of closely related information. Trainees are presented with a “chunk” and then tested for retention. Ø If not retained, trainees are referred back to the original information. Ø If retained, trainees are referred to the next chunk of information to be learned.

Intelligent tutoring systems Ø Provide some of the primary characteristics of a human tutor. Ø Expert systems § Monitor trainee knowledge within a PI module, and § Provide adaptive tutoring on the basis of trainee responses. Example: Microsoft Excel Help and tutorials to teach users how to utilize different aspects of the program they are having trouble with. Ø More advanced forms of ITS “learn” the best methods of facilitating the trainee’s learning on the basis of the trainee’s responses.

Interactive multimedia (IM) Ø Integrates the use of text, video, graphics, photos, animation, and sound to produce a complex training environment with which the trainee interacts. Ø IM can be delivered through most electronic media that have visual and audio capabilities. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

Virtual Reality Ø An advanced form of computer simulation Ø Places trainee in a simulated environment that is “virtually” the same as the physical environment. Ø Utilizes PI and ITS. Ø Programs vary in ability to simulate actual reality. Ø Trainee learns by interacting with objects in the electronic environment to achieve some goal. Ø Some health issues exist related to too much time in this environment. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 7 -10
