hello mam,
these are the computer based training techniques followed by different companies.
web based training
Web-based training is taking the training and education world by storm. Just to get a sense of how fast Web-based training is growing, consider some of these indicators.
ex- Graphic, Visualization and Usability Center (GVU) at Georgia Tech
is using this technique,since the variety and sub variety of products are increasing day by day so they are proving catalogs ,charts and strategies for selling by using web ,this is effective for cost cutting and also saving time.
Most Fortune 500 companies have offices and competitors around the world. Traditionally, these companies first train their North American sales representatives, service staff, and engineering groups on new products and then train employees in Europe, Asia/Pacific, and the rest of the world.
Quick start training
Quick Start develops multimedia-based training CDs as part of a complete training package when that is the best way to meet a client company's needs. For the Sony training Project, Gorgein firm assembled a team of experts to work with Sony employees, such as Rosauer and other technical experts.
Quick Start headed the production end, providing animators, computer programmers, graphic artists, instructional designers and video producers.
customized training programme
Computer based training can be customized to the needs of each employer, providing an important additional benefit. While traditional classroom learning forces students to adapt to a rigid class structure, computer based training programs can be adjusted and customized to the need of each business. If the business needs to focus on a particular area of the program, that ability is available. If the workers at the company will not need to use a particular feature of the software, that portion can be omitted from the training.

Hello Ma'm
Some good examples of the companies using CBT techniques:
1)CBT for Police Radar Operators(Delivering of Radar operators for members of municipal police department)- Police departments are responsible for conducting training and certification of police officers. Traditionally, these courses are taught by a state certified instructor in a classroom setting. As the no started to rise, it became difficult to manage huge persons. So, they gradually shifted towards CBT technique for training.
2)SRI International, a leading independent research institute based in Silicon Valley, has been awarded a $3M contract to develop a statewide combat readiness training system for the California Army National Guard that integrates live battle exercises with computer-based simulators. This will greatly increase training effectiveness by linking live outdoor training exercises with simulators to create a realistic battlefield environment where command, infantry, armored, and eventually, air elements of California's Army National Guard can interact during a combat training event without leaving their home stations.
For example, through computer networking, a command post in Los Alamitos, California could send orders to a tank unit training at Camp Roberts near Paso Robles, while another Guard Unit in San Luis Obispo dispatches simulated soldiers to the virtual, interactive battlefield which is shared by all participants. Previously, such large-scale combined arms training exercises were infrequent because of the costs required to move widely distributed Guard units and their equipment to a single exercise location.
3)Also in the Astronaut training, new CBT methods are used..

Hello Mam,
CBT is very much popular now a days and it is used in different field.
Computer Based Training:
These self-study computer training DVD/CD based courses are packed with interactive content such as animations, videos, narrated step-by-step instructions, computer labs, hands-on exercises, quizzes and practice exams. Self-paced CBT training courses share the perfect medium for those who wish to learn at their own pace, on their own desktop.
Advantages:
CBT can improve job performance:
It trains people in specific skills for specific performance.
It trains people in general skills that broadly affect general performance.
It provides increased access to information tools for decision making.
CBT is cost effective.
CBT gives trainers increased control over training activities:
It provides management systems for tracking trainees' progress and location.
It provides on-line testing to match a trainee with needed training. It provides consistency of training in terms of quality and information presented.
It provides standardization of training when training occurs in several work locations simultaneously.
COMPUTER BASED TRAINING METHODS:
-Microsoft Excel computer based training- a training software you can take both online or on your computer that will teach you basic and advanced techniques in using MS Excel.
- Adobe Photoshop CBT- is a training course for those who want to learn photo editing and graphic designs.
-In military and air force:
Computer simulations allow the military to train soldiers for severe combat situations without actually having to put them in harm's way. The Air Force can train pilots in flight simulators long before they actually get in the cockpit. Computer simulations have become so advanced that computer games have begun to model themselves after combat and flight simulator software.
-Computer based speech training:
Auditory feedback is used by children who have normal hearing abilities to learn speech. People who are profoundly deaf and cannot learn speech through the normal process of listening and mimicking the patterns of vocal articulations can make use of computer-based speech training.
Advantages of speech training method by computer based:
1. In two studies reported by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, there was little significant difference between computer-based speech training and human speech therapy. Computer-based training is convenient--the student does not have to travel and wait to begin an exercise. It is also less costly once the software has been purchased.
Disadvantages of speech training by computer based:
2. Human interaction is an integral part of learning speech, not only for social purposes but also for physical ones. For example, part of the mechanism of speech is that the vocal folds produce vibrations in the throat. Hearing-impaired children can touch the neck of the therapist to feel the vibrations and then approximate them by feeling their own throat.
Hearing-Impaired Children
3. Computer-based speech training provides both audio and video feedback to children and adults who have difficulties with certain articulations of speech. Progressing at their own pace, students' training time is not limited to an hour as with a speech therapist.

Hello Mam,
CBT (Computer-Based Training), IBT (Internet-Based Training) or WBT (Web-Based Training) have been used as synonyms to E-learning.CBTs can be a good alternative to printed learning materials since rich media, including videos or animations, can easily be embedded to enhance the learning, learning occurs when trainers and trainees are in remote locations. typically, technology is used to broadcast a trainer's lecture to many trainees in many separate locations.
To encourage learning within the organization, Bharti Airtel has set up a state-of-the-art learning center. Here, employees can get logged on to customized training programmes developed by British Telecom (BT). Though the material is transmitted through the Internet, they are not accessible to anybody outside the organization as the access is protected.
Appin Technology Lab (ATL) is a part of Appin Group of Companies and the premier provider of hi- technology certification, courseware as well as online, computer based and instructor led training across the world. Appin has come up with the way of innovative learning concept using Computer Based Training Software (CBTS) in a highly interactive environment.

hello mam,
computer based training is very effective and excellent concept of training now days its area is increasing very rapidly.
CBT is cost effective it eliminate travel for trainees.
CBT also self paced,flexible and individualized .
CBT is tireless and in CBT,their is increased control over training activity.
Design of computer based training:
During the design phase (which is usually closely integrated with the development phase), trainers work from learning goals to Design a training system that learners and trainers can implement to meet the learning goals. This phase also typically includes identifying learning objectives (which culminate in reaching the learning goals), needed facilities, necessary funding, course content, lessons and the sequence of lessons. The various training media are selected, e.g., instructor-led, computer-based, World Wide Web-based, self-directed, interactive and computer-based, or multi-media. Course content is often piloted during the development phase, or initially tested, to ensure the content is understandable. Therefore, this design phase can also can include identifying evaluation criteria to evaluate if course content is understandable by learners.
uses:
In aviation:
CBT is also used in pilot training by using video graphics etc.so use of cbt cut simulator training cost.
In marital arts:
There are few websites who give training for marital arts by providing different CDs like Volume 1: MMA Fundamentals,Volume 2: Mastering MMA Defense, Blocking And Movement, Volume 3: MMA Fight Strategies etc.
In McDONALDS:
McDonalds use CBT to orient new employee and traine them about safety,security,hospitality as well as skill needed for various stations such as fryer,drive thru and front counter etc by using CD-ROMS.

Hello mam,
Computer based training techniques are very important in present times because of the changing landscape of the industries requires nonstop learning to stay ahead. Studies showed that students learned 60% faster when using computer-based interactive tools, increased understanding by more than 55%, and retained new knowledge up to 50% longer. Some of the examples are as follows:
1. THE APPLICATION OF ENGINE ROOM SIMULATORS
Today, many maritime academies and vocational training centers apply engine room simulators in the teaching/learning Process. The objective of this training is to establish a minimum level of specialized knowledge and qualification in global ship traffic. An interactive program has been devised where in trainees have the possibility to familiarize themselves with the system and develop operational skills. Various multimedia techniques of simulation have been applied in this program, including three-dimensional presentations, sound applications, diagrams, pictures, etc. computer-based training (CBT) is being increasingly utilized in maritime academies as a preparatory stage, prior to the use of full mission engine room simulators. The basic role of CBT interactive programs is the familiarization with individual auxiliary machinery and associated systems, prior to the commencement of the operation with the whole engine room plant .The use of CBT modules is especially important in the case of complex marine control systems, where, computer-based training (CBT) is being increasingly utilized in maritime academies as a preparatory stage, prior to the use of full mission engine room simulators. The basic role of CBT interactive programs is the familiarization with individual auxiliary machinery and associated systems, prior to the commencement of the operation with the whole engine room plant .The use of CBT modules is especially important in the case of complex marine control systems, where a perfect knowledge of different operational modes is required.
2. UNODC (the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) has developed computer based training (CBT) on drug law enforcement. As Transnational drug trafficking is a global concern with drug traffickers using latest technologies to avoid detection at land borders, airports and seaports by Customs officers. Traffickers use innocuous couriers and adopt new methods to smuggle drugs. This global training tool applies a problem-solving and interactive approach and is managed by a Learning Management System (LMS). It covers 65 relevant topics, including the review of passport for land controls and airports; behavioral indicators at airports and questioning persons at seaports/airports. The subjects are divided into 5 chapters: i) interdiction techniques for land controls, ii) interdiction techniques at airports, iii) interdiction techniques at sea ports, iv) intelligence and controlled delivery and v) money laundering.
3. CBT in Energy Sector: Computer-based training is a technique of choice, as demonstrated by the three methods described below.
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.. 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.
The outcome of OTS training includes the following:
Understanding of the power system concepts behind operating procedures
Application of the operational knowledge using prepared operating orders
Ability to make proper decisions where no procedures exist
Honing of interactive skills to communicate with others..
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.
Conclusion
These advanced training techniques couldn't come at a better time. Companies that train their employees using these advanced training techniques invest in a better-trained, more competitive organization.

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.. 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.
The outcome of OTS training includes the following:
Understanding of the power system concepts behind operating procedures
Application of the operational knowledge using prepared operating orders
Ability to make proper decisions where no procedures exist
Honing of interactive skills to communicate with others..
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.
Conclusion
These advanced training techniques couldn't come at a better time. Companies that train their employees using these advanced training techniques invest in a better-trained, more competitive organization.

COMPUTER-BASED TRAINING TECHNIQUES
Task Requirements
Ability to teach a physical skill
However, recent advances in CBT simulations may allow you to teach physical skills using specifically designed CBT programs. If your employees are to be using expensive or complicated equipment, or working in hazardous environments, CBT can provide "practice" via simulations. With simulations, mistakes, and the learning that results from them, will take place on the computer, not on the job.
Ability to provide human interaction.
Social interactions (conversations between people) are very difficult to teach in the abstract. If your trainees are learning how to use English (or the appropriate spoken language) that is acceptable with supervisors, peers, and clients; follow, clarify, or provide feedback to oral instructions; use aural communications devices; or engage in appropriate social interaction with supervisors, the public, co-workers, or instructors, live, lecture- (or conversation-) based training is probably the best training delivery method.
However, recent advances in CBT simulations and video instruction tapes may allow you to use these media for language instruction. And in some cases, CBT or video might be an appropriate adjunct to instruction with human interaction.
Ability to determine and adapt to individual needs.
Assessment is a valid part of any training. It enables the training program to target instruction appropriately. Computer-based training assessments may be best at initially placing and then monitoring students' progress within a curriculum. Workbooks and lecturers may also be able to assess learners and gauge their needs. The greatest value of assessment is the guidance it provides on targeting instruction. Good CBT can adapt to learners' individual needs, providing the amount of instructional support needed. Workbooks and lectures can do this to a lesser degree.
Ability to question students and adjust instruction accordingly.
It is important to quiz students periodically to determine whether or not they are mastering the material, and then to adjust instruction accordingly. Well designed CBT will provide follow-up instruction appropriate to students' responses. Lecturers can also adapt instruction to students' grasp of the course content, but they usually have to target their follow-up to general student needs, rather than to each student's needs. Students using workbooks will probably have to determine what further instruction they might need on their own.
Ability to provide immediate feedback.
It is important for students to know how they are doing and whether they are mastering course content as soon as possible. Immediate feedback can keep them from floundering, or going forward under misperceptions. CBT is best at providing immediate feedback. Workbooks and lecturers may also be able to, though not as well.
Ability to produce life-like images.
Some instruction requires high quality visuals, such as illustrations of machine parts or body organs, to be effective. All of the training media discussed here have that capability, though lecture-based instruction needs some augmentation to provide these visuals.
Ability to produce high-quality audio.
Some instruction also requires high quality audio reproduction to prepare trainees properly. Machine malfunctions might be best diagnosed by the sounds that they make, and the different sounds people make breathing could indicate different ailments. CBT and video are best suited to providing high quality audio, and with augmentation, lectures can provide it as well.
Ability to portray motion.
Instruction using motion can demonstrate how something is to be done, for example, assembling equipment or a piece of furniture. CBT and video can clearly show the action, while texts and workbooks can only show pictures at various points in the process. Lectures can be augmented to portray motion.
Ability to telescope time (time lapse or slow-mo).
Some processes (like the life cycle of a flower) are best shown with time-lapse video. CBT and video can do this extremely well. Conversely, some training may require slowing down time (showing the individual piston strokes of an internal combustion engine, for example). Again, CBT and video do this well.
Ability to use in combination with other media.
Some forms of instruction can be combined fairly easily (lecture with text, for example), some cannot. The ability to combine media may be important if, for example, learners need to master both theory and practice. Textbooks and workbooks are frequently designed for use with other media, while most CBT is designed as a stand alone product.
Ability to use computers.
Computer literacy is rapidly becoming a basic skill all productive people will need to function in society and on the job. If employees are in jobs that require them to use computers, computer-based training can do double duty: both providing the training content intended, and building employees' comfort and facility with computers. If computers aren't yet used on the job, but will be soon, using CBT will introduce employees to computers and familiarize them with computer functions.
Ability 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.
Ability to provide team as well as individual study.
At times, it may be appropriate for individuals to learn how to do something as a group, such as analyze production processes in order to improve quality. In these cases, it is best that individuals receive instruction together, so that they can share ideas and practice techniques together. Solitary training media, such as texts and workbooks, are not well designed for team instruction.
Ability to reach trainees remotely.
Trainees may not all be in the same place at the same time. All of the training media discussed in this chapter, except lectures, can handle this situation well.
Ability to access training where needed.
Many organizations are also seeking ways to conduct training without removing employees from their day-to-day job tasks. Again, textbooks and workbooks are most mobile, classroom-based lectures are least mobile. The mobility of computer- and video-based instruction depends on a company's access to computers and VCRs.
Ability to access training when needed.
Many organizations today are looking for a way to train employees when skills are needed. Textbooks and workbooks are most responsive to satisfying the immediate needs of an employee. Lectures are least responsive. CBT and videos can also enable employees to work through an appropriate skill module when the skill is demanded by the job, making them very efficient training delivery methods.
Ability to update & change course content frequently.
If the content of the subject being taught will change frequently, the training media needs to be fairly flexible. If course content is more stable, media flexibility is unnecessary. The lecture format is most flexible, videos and computer-based training least flexible.
