cbt on the fast track
This presentation describes a strategy for creating customizable computer-based training (CBT) materials quickly. The writers of the CBT materials are expected to be familiar with document creation tools, but might have relatively little experience with CBT authoring tools. The keys to the strategy are modularity and recycling. Training materials created for print are adapted, first for passive online presentation, then for interactive computer-based training. In each adaptation, the materials are modified to suit a different environment or application of the product being described. The subject matter and educational objectives are not modified. The presentation will discuss the rationale for the recommended strategy and outline the steps in the process by which it is executed, illustrating the process with examples.
