CBT for IT subjects, are 'SIMULATED' (you don't need the Application Software you'relearning about loaded on your PC).

'Multi-Media Training' (CDROM) offers great potential. The main 'media' involved arecomputing, audio and video. These are supplied to on CD-ROM. They run on a PC,which will need to have a CD-ROM player, audio system etc.

'Video Based Training' (VIDEO), media brings the 'human' element into play. It is wellsuited for group training, and/or as a catalyst for groups.
