CBT is also an excellent tool for practicing newly learned skills. CBT delivers cost effective and convenient learning on demand. In these courses, materials may include components found in both MBT and self-directed learning packages. As with the self-paced courses, the students determine their own learning path and pace. However, additional interaction with educational resources is provided using the Internet.
Interaction can include daily breakout sessions using text based Internet chat facilities.
In these sessions, all students enrolled in a specific class can have free form, on-line interaction with an instructor and with each other for an extended period. During the chat sessions, students can ask questions, instructors can quiz the entire group, and students can share their experiences. Distance learning is swiftly becoming a popular form of distributed education for business and industry. MBT programs contain video, audio with transcript, and slides as presented at a live class or seminar.
