Web Based Training

Designing Web-Based Training by Ann E. Barron
ABSTRACT: There are many methods and techniques for delivering instruction through the Web.
Academic and industrial courses can be enhanced with Web-based links, or the courses can be delivered completely via the Web. Instructional content can be delivered through e-mail "correspondence-type" courses, via Web pages written in HTML, or with very complex interactions developed with Java, JavaScript, Shockwave, ActiveX, or other tools. In this brief discussion, I will outline a range of Web-based instructional options, provide general guidelines for designing Web-delivered instruction, discuss two case studies, and include links to example Web-based training (WBT) sites.
