CBT's and WBT's for E-Learning

Review and Discussion of Lekan Quadri's Blog
"CBT/WBT can be used as alternative or supplement to expensive conventional courses and lectures, seminars, trainings or workshops. Adapting the framework for evaluating the effectiveness of instructional multimedia is that of extend version of Kirkpatrick’s (1996) four levels of evaluation introduced by Schenkel. It begins to appear in academic institutions using for instruction. The evaluation show various recommendation for computer base/web base learning from assessing learning, reaction and attitude, behavior change in the intended environment, and assessing results and return on investments (ROI)."
My Summation
I think that this student did a great job focusing on specific aspects and utilizing examples of various sample CBT and WBT programs. I think many would agree that these programs offer a useful and meaningful suppemental value in relation to supplemental practices. Many pertinent companies and academic institutions have caught on to the advantages that can increase when using various modes of instruction to meet the needs of all individuals. I thought it was good that the author of the blog above included statistical and informational data to back up their claims and statements, which showed that the author did research their topic in one way or another. It does seem that it is very important to evaluate the workers reactions and attitudes towards these types of programs to continually make them better and more engaging for the future.
