Web-based Training

Web-based training is browser driven. For this reason, it is more accessible to many, but expensive for some (in Europe, Internet access is charged by the minute).

Accessibility to e-learning "is not currently as integral as an employee manual, a college syllabus or a 9th grade math textbook. Most industry observers and education practitioners believe that one day soon, it will be."
(Unattributed. E-learning 2002 New York City metropolitan Area. The Canadian Consulate General in New York. February 2002, 25.))

Web-based content can be easily changed or updated so that learners receive the most recent version. When training is complete, feedback in the form of test or quiz results can be given online and stored in databases or Learning Management Systems. Instructor feedback and follow-up can take the form of online chat rooms or e-mail.

Universal accessibility to the Web might require using limited bandwidth, which results in slower performance for sound and images. Avoid long downloading delays, since this can be a source of frustration for users. This module is a sample of low bandwidth, interactive, Web-based solution.
