Respected Mam,
Given below are two CBT techniques used in Power Generation Sector in particular and one general CBT technique.
Customized Instruction
Power plant operators are required to maintain company standards of knowledge and performance, leading to a growing need for time-efficient operator training methods. In the past 10 years, power plant operator training has evolved from primarily text-based computer programs to sophisticated, interactive multi-media learning aids. For example, a currently available, four-module CD-ROM course called "EPRI CBT" comes complete with video, animation, photographs, graphics, and professional narration. These computer-driven simulation and training tools can be used as classroom aids in conjunction with group training sessions, or to guide tutorial sessions for independent study. In the latter case, the training is done in-house during slow or down times at the tutee's own pace. This tool in particular contains general information about power plant turbines, specific information about some conventional turbines, and customized information about the power plant turbines where the training is taking place.
Users of these tools have found that as they learn more about how operations affect plant equipment, they can make better decisions about start-up procedures and more quickly diagnose problems. As a result, plant staff productivity increases, plant performance improves, and equipment life is extended.
One energy company, City Public Service of San Antonio has been using EPRI CBT for the past year with great success. They are taking their customization capability one step further by setting up operator competency standards based on training test results.

Virtual Control Center
A second method of efficient computer-based training involves sophisticated, realistic emulation of power systems in real time for training purposes. For example, EPRI's Operator Training Simulator (OTS) provides such a realistic copy of an energy control center that operators say it is indistinguishable from the real thing. The transportable OTS operates within an energy company's control center energy management system (EMS). Representation of the control center is exact, with the same displays, consoles, and controls used in the control room. Its models provide real-time simulation, allowing system operators to learn skills that help them operate the power grid efficiently under common and emergency situations. The latter scenarios include some that might not be encountered in a real-world setting for years, but that nonetheless are critical for comprehensive training.
Instructors guide the training sessions, monitor system reactions, and evaluate trainee progress from behind a glass wall overseeing the trainees. Trainees (usually no more than four at a time) see and hear what they would during actual power system operation. In some scenarios, the instructors, posing as power plant or substation personnel, call the trainees or vice versa, to simulate a real environment during emergency procedures.

Desktop Classroom
A third example of computer-based training involves training on a variety of topics that can be done at users' desktops. For example, in interactive distance learning (IDL) systems, students at remote sites use microphone-equipped response keypads to communicate both verbally and electronically in real time with an instructor at a studio site. Students ask and answer questions electronically, while the instructor uses a touch screen to issue formatted questions and activate student microphones. Questions and comments are heard by all the students on the network. This interactivity helps to boost student attention level and interest while providing instructors valuable real-time feedback.
One such program, the ONE TOUCH system, can handle up to 1500 remote sites, dependent on the comfort level of the user and the type of course content being covered. This training method is used for employee training in such areas as management, human resources, sales, marketing, and technical development. Compared to conventional training methods, customers using the ONE TOUCH IDL solution have reported a 100% increase in comprehension and an 80% increase in the amount of content covered.

Computer-Based Training Techniques


Most CBT uses one or a combination of the following techniques:

Tutorial. The most common of all techniques is the tutorial. It is used to introduce new information that must be taught in a sequential manner. It is useful for teaching factual information, simple discrimination, rules, and simple application of rules.

Drill and Practice. Another commonly used technique is known as drill and practice. It provides opportunities for practice when mastery of a new skill or information is desired. It should be used after initial instruction.

Training Games. Training games supplement other instruction and are used to provide motivating and engaging opportunities for practice after a skill or new information is taught. Training games capitalize on the competitive interests of learners and add entertainment value to instruction.

Simulation. The technique of simulation is most often used when practicing a skill in its real context is too costly or dangerous. It provides an opportunity for experimentation, and allows students to test assumptions in a realistic context. Simulations are also used to model real-world situations that are not physically dangerous or costly, in order to build realism and relevance into the training situation.

Problem Solving. One of the most challenging techniques used in CBT is problem solving. It helps students develop skills in logic, solving problems, and following directions, and is generally used to augment higher order thinking skills.

Demonstration/Presentation. Demonstration or presentation is best used to support the introduction of new information. It can also be used as a review tool.

Most CBT incorporates one or more of these techniques. A training game, for example, might have some of the elements of drill and practice; a tutorial might use problem solving questions. If one or more of these techniques is right for meeting your training requirements, CBT may be an appropriate training method for you.

Hp is also training their employees through Computer Based Training Systems. It is the best way in which they can provide same type of training to their employees in different areas of world. They have also developed software programmed through which we can learn how to diagnose the problem on our workstation or operating systems

IBM’s

The idea behind the program was to take new employees from more remote locations and give them an orientation and training platform that would not only connect them to a larger social network, but also allow them to develop the necessary skills needed to perform their jobs.

Problem Solving

One of the most challenging techniques used in CBT is problem solving. They also solve thye problem easily. It helps students develop skills in logic, solving problems, and following directions, and is generally used to augment higher order thinking skills.

Training Jump Start

Training Jump Start allows you to create CBT with a wide variety of options such as PowerPoint, videos, YouTube, Flash, audio, Web designing , HTML, Word, PDF and more. There is also the option of having users pay to enroll.

Online Teacher:

Online training lets students and teachers work completely on the Internet from any location with computers or other mobile devices. In many cases, a computer and Internet access is all that is required to enroll in a web-based training course. While some courses are just as strictly scheduled as traditional classes, meaning students are required to be virtually present at a specific time and day, others are flexible, assigning work and providing feedback when the student completes the project.

Training Games

Training games supplement other instruction and are used to provide motivating and engaging opportunities for practice after a skill or new information is taught. Training games capitalize on the competitive interests of learners and add entertainment value to instruction.

Dear Harleen,
I saw your post and observed that quite a number of students from MBA 1A batch answered your query, just like a project. Looks like some sort of online assignment test in a professional forum.
Anyway you have not mentioned what do you do and why do you need this information?
If you are intrested to want to implement CBT in your organisation, please mention the place and nature of organisation business, employee strength and the places/offices which you want to connect with your HO/HQ and people will guide you to choose & implement the right kind of software.
Have you heard about PeopleSoft eLearning Software used gor this purpose? or OracleApps same software for that matter? That is used a lot by big organisations accross US. Many such inhouse softwares are also available in India. LIke Learning Management System (LMS) used by NIIT to conduct professional courses accross diff NIIT centres at India.
Happy learninig!!

Good evening Mam,

There has been a development related to Computer based Training (CBT) in the area of "driving safety" for older drivers. These days driving has become an indispensable part of the life of majority of individuals crossing the age barrier. Though there are refresher courses available to work on the driving skills but they require a lot of time and effort.

To solve this problem computer based programs have been developed to train the individuals and improve their driving skills. The programs promise to improve the reflexes, focus and multitasking abilities fundamental to safe driving. With the new programs comes a hopeful strategy for keeping "older drivers" on the road in a safe manner—and for longer, allowing them to preserve a function critical to their quality of life.

Unlike conventional simulators, which train drivers by mimicking the experience of being on the road, these software programs use challenging computer games—seemingly unrelated to driving—that target the physical, visual and cognitive skills required to competently and safely pilot a vehicle in the real world. By making the relevant parts of the brain work harder, computer-based driver training aims to bolster those functions.

Hence, these computer based training programs in the form of computer games help in enhancing road safety of older drivers.

e.g. DriveSharp by Posit Science, launched in July 2009, and Senior Driver by CogniFit.

Yours Sincerely,

Deepak Nagpal

Good Evening Mam,

In the computer Based Training some specific computer software used for instructional purposes. Most of the organizations use CBT for training purposes.CBT can be used for formal learning,non-formal learning and informal learning.There are lot many advantages of CBT like availability, pace conformance. It reduces the training cost when training is provided to more employees in more locationsCBT is also very consistence. It cut the classroom and storage space.On the other hand it has some disadvantages also like initial cost is very high and,Impersonal learning environment and sometimes computer unavailability.

There are some computer based techniques which are as under:-

1.)Simulation:-It is computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system. It refers to artificial 3D computer graphics model made to represent a three-dimensional object through the use of specialized software. With this one can experiment a real world situation. This is mostly used to train the pilots.

2.) Testing:- In this pretests evaluate existing knowledge. Training focuses on subsequent deficiencies. Self-test questions are there throughout the program. We can practice also to perform the tests. Post-tests are also there to know about the pattern etc.

3.)Interactive Multimedia Training:-It integrates test, videos,graphics,photos ,animations,sounds. It is self-paced and interactive. One can better understand the things with this.This is most effective system of training.

4.) Demonstration:-

It is used to support the introduction of new information. It is applied widely for creation of instruction books

It is similar to E-book concerning the learning method

5.) Tutorial:-It is : a sequential manner of introducing new information. It is useful for teaching factual information, simple discrimination, rules, and simple application of rules.

Drill and Skill practice - used after initial instruction when mastery of a new skill or information is desired

Problem solving - used to augment higher order thinking skills

IST = Intelligent Tutorial Systems - provide direct feedback to students, without the intervention of human beings, whilst performing a task.

So these are the various CBT techniques

Hello mam.........
computer based techniques :

CBT is the most effective and efficent technique

CBT gives trainers increased control over trining activities.It trains people in specific performance.

By using the cbt abilty to teach more than one trainee simultanously
If a company has a number of people that need to be trained, it is important that the training media work well with groups. All five of the media looked at in this chapter (computer-, video-, text-, workbook-, and lecture-based training) can teach more than one trainee at a time, though trainees would need to be able to access the computer-based training and textbooks individually, and each student would need his or her own workbook.

Costs (develoment, acquisition, equipment) must be kept low.

Costs (development, acquisition, equipment) must be kept low. In general, text and workbooks are the most economical training media on the market. Videos usually fall in the mid range, while lectures and computer-based training, particularly when equipment costs are included, tend to be the most expensive. However, off-the-shelf CBT packages can be very affordable, particularly when a company already owns the necessary hardware

Increase access to training to learners in locations around the world
