Web-based Training (WBT)

Web-based training (sometimes called e-learning) is anywhere, any-time instruction delivered over the Internet or a corporate intranet to browser-equipped learners

two primary models of Web-based instruction:– Synchronous (instructor-facilitated)– Asynchronous (self-directed, self-paced)

*

Web-based Training Instruction can be delivered by a combination

of static methods (learning portals, hyperlinked pages, screen cam tutorials, streaming audio/video, and live Web broadcasts) and interactive methods (threaded discussions, chats, and desk-top video conferencing).
