Why CBT

Computer-Based Education or Computer-Based Training (CBT) has proven to be the most learning effective and cost effective advanced delivery technology. Computer-Based Education provides the student with the ability to concentrate on difficult areas of a topic while breezing over areas in which the student is already knowledgeable.

Fiction:	You learn best as part of a group with everyone learning the same material at the same time.
Fact:	Different individuals learn at different rates. The reason people are put in groups to learn is that traditional methods make individual instruction too costly. In any group, some students are left behind while others are continually held back by the group.
Fiction:	The best way to learn a large body of information, such as how to use a computer package, is to start at the beginning and cover each topic until everything has been covered.
Fact:	Two of the most important factors in learning are the belief that you need to know what you are learning and the opportunity to apply what you have learned in a meaningful situation. Retention rates increase dramatically when the learner has a specific reason to learn a particular topic. The ideal learning environment is to receive the information when you need it and to apply it immediately in a realistic situation.
Fiction:	Attending a six- or eight-hour training seminar on a computer package is an effective way to learn.
Fact:	A normal human being simply cannot absorb new information at that rate. This is like exercising for eight hours straight instead of exercising for half an hour a day for sixteen days. It simply does not work.
