cbt.module

The cbt.module suite of programs and utilities provides a fresh approach to Computer-Based-Training that is flexible, extensible and standards-based.

Specifically, cbt.module provides a fresh approach to CBT, tackling key CBT problems:

1. needs no installation:- cbt.module can be run from a CD, Website or USB key, needing no software installation. Consequently, problems of co-ordination with IT departments in corporate environments are eliminated.
2. based on open standards:- cbt.module authoring is done in HTML so no special authoring skills are required. This means no lock-in to specialised, esoteric skill acquisition; HTML authoring skills are widely available.
3. incorporates result recording:- recording of training results is inbuilt to the cbt.module tools, so no separate, special arrangement needs to be made.
4. provides immediate feedback - cbt.module can provide immediate feedback to the studnet showing the correct answers to any questions answered incorrectly, thus immediately re-inforcing the training
5. immediate results availablility - summarised results are available to the trainer in real time
6. developer-selectable notifications by email include notify on assess, notify on fail, notify on pass

cbt.module also has a range of advanced features which can be selected by the training author, including:

1. random sub-set of questions selected from a larger set so no two students get the same question set
2. put-in-order questions which require the trainee to sort lists into correct order
3. an extensive, carefully-crafted Javascript library, including date-picker, object selectors, put-in-order mechanisms and much more
4. pre-submission validation of required fields and check of response to all questions
5. flexible scoring system allows for any desired scoring outcome
6. completion certificates can be created automatically for passing students from a template

cbt.module is in use by organisations as diverse as Cootes Transport Group for Dangerous Goods Driver training and the Heritage Golf & Country Club for customer service training.

For training consultants, this means that:

1. CBT development life cycle times are drastically cut
2. tailored CBT for individual clients becomes realistic
3. your investment in CBT development is fully re-usable and can be leveraged with each new client
4. you do not need to lock in to skill development in-house; the mechanics of the CBT delivery can be readily outsourced
5. with the flexibility of delivery, you can deliver CBT to your clients with zero-installation ease
6. richly-featured training material can be generated very quickly

Your organisation can be productive in CBT development within hours of licencing cbt.module.
