Document Summary

A major advantage of computer-based training is that it can be initiated and controlled by the trainee. Increased flexibility: learn at their own pace, learn what is relevant to their needs, become independent with less dependence on formal training, learn according to their own learning style. Limitations: may learn wrong things or incomplete learning, waste time accessing and finding material. It takes time to gain sdl skills: no instructor to answer questions when they arise, requires high degree of intrinsic motivation (self-discipline) Asynchronous: (one-way) - pre-programmed and available to the trainee at any time and from any location, e. g. , online course or multimedia program. Synchronous: live (twoway) and requires trainees to be at their computer at a specific time, e. g. , chat session or live webinar . Social constructivism: an approach to learning that emphasizes interactive learning environments where participants and instructor learn from one another. Social media: the use of technology for sharing and exchanging information, e. g. texting .
