<span>There is growing acceptance in industry of Computer Based Training (CBT) as an appropriate medium for technical training. Few CBT systems are designed to meet the flexible instructional design needs or simulation requirements of such training, or are capable in the longer term of adaption to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) principles, Serious trainers and educators have had to re-examine system specifications and capabilities before embarking further on the path to automated training.</span>

What can you do to virtually teach the hands-on skills traditionally taught in labs? If you include simulations, active experimentation, discovery-learning techniques, numerous questions with detailed feedback, video, animations, and photographs, you can effectively teach practical hands-on skills through multimedia technology. Through discussion and demonstration, this session will highlight practical tips for implementing the instructional development cycle as well as uncommon but effective instructional design strategies for teaching practical skills. Some of the highlighted programs (such as a virtual chemistry lab) have pushed the boundaries of what can be accomplished with multimedia technology. By the end of this interactive session, participants (who can range from novices to experts) should be able to identify computer-based training applications that effectively use multimedia technology, generate examples of where new media technology can be appropriately used to virtually teach hands-on skills, and decide where to incorporate the strategies shown into their computer-based training productions.

The largest cause of novice driver crashes is their inexperience, causing both failures to anticipate hazards and to maintain attention to the forward roadway. A number of computer-based training programs have been shown to improve novice drivers’ hazard anticipation and attention maintenance skills. The Engaged Driver Training System (EDTS) is a computer tablet-based program targeted at teaching novice drivers both, to anticipate latent hazards and decrease distracting activities in the presence of such hazards. Previous simulator testing of EDTS has found it to be effective at improving latent hazard anticipation and decreasing distraction. This current study extends that research by conducting an on-road evaluation of EDTS, and by examining the impact of training parents along with their teens. This evaluation found that EDTS-trained teens showed better hazard anticipation on-road than the placebo-trained teens. Teens who participated with their parents in training identified a higher proportion of latent hazards than teens who did not participate with their parents, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Most computer-based training (CBT) research has ignored variables other than the software itself. Yet there are other factors which can influence achievement. This study explored the impact of instructor-student interaction when students worked CBT in pairs. Compared to an earlier study in which instructor interaction positively influence achievement when students worked CBT individually, instructor interaction had no effect on achievement. Evidently, many if not all of the social functions served by the instructor in the traditional classroom can be provided by a CBT team partner. Implications of these results, to include the role of the instructor and the responsibility of the software developer, are discussed.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been defined as a branch of computer science dealing with the capability and simulation of a machine to imitate intelligent human behaviour. Diagnostic radiology, being a computer-based service, is unsurprisingly at the forefront of the discussion of the use of AI in medicine. There are however differing schools of thought regarding its use; namely, will AI eventually replace the radiologist? Or indeed will it ever be fully capable of replacing radiology as a speciality, but rather be used as an aid to the profession whereby a human’s input will always be required? Furthermore, what will the legal implications of AI in radiology mean to the profession? Who will be liable for missed diagnoses? Is it possible that the introduction of AI to radiology will in fact make the profession busier?

Computer and video technology emerging over the last few years provide more opportunities to deliver quality staff trainings while increasing efficiency and reducing costs associated with trainings. The purpose of this study is to extend previous research by evaluating the effectiveness of computer instruction training to teach entry level staff to conduct a free preference assessment to be used with adults with developmental disabilities. This study focuses on the impact of utilizing computer instruction, without a trainer present, for entry level staff's competency to (a) implement the target steps of a free-operant preference assessment, (b) score and interpret the results of the data, and (c) maintain competency of skills taught after training is complete. Results of this study demonstrate increased performance of staff's implementation of the target steps of the assessment from a baseline average of 53.6% to 96.6% after training provided via computer-based instruction alone. During generalization phase, staff trainee's average accuracy of completing target steps maintained at 96% accuracy, while maintenance accuracy was 100% accuracy across three trainees two weeks after the training. Outcomes of the current study supports the use of computer-based learning alone as being an effective mode to training staff in less than 40 minutes training time.

The IT workforce of a company is an important strategic asset, an asset that needs to be managed. This paper details the results of a survey administered to 200 employees across 39 software companies in Ireland between July and August 2001, with a response rate of 102 (51 %). It presents a descriptive study, which assesses the impact that training practices have on employee retention. It also gathers data on the effects of training initiatives, the types of training in use, and the influence of training on knowledge retention. IT staff were chosen for this study as they embody the new “knowledge worker” operating in the information economy. The study finds that training helps in retaining knowledge within the organization, but may not help in retaining employees. The predominant method of training delivery is by instructor-led formal sessions, followed by self-training and workshops. Findings show that more modern methods such as web-based and computer-based training are not pervasive.

<p>The present study aimed to investigate the impact of applying a computerized strategy based on training upon developing the skill of Math word problem solving among students with learning disabilities (attention-deficit) in Mathematics. The study sample consisted of (14) students with learning disabilities in Mathematics, randomly chosen from elementary public schools in the city of Najran, Saudi Arabia, and distributed evenly into two groups: The control group (7) students who studied in the traditional way and the experimental group (7) students who studied in computer-based training strategy. Pre-and-post achievement test conducted in Mathematics. The results showed that there are statistically significant differences at the post-achievement test in mathematics in the skill of Math word problem solving in favor of members of the experimental group, which indicates the effectiveness of the computer-based training strategy upon developing the skill of Math word problem solving. Accordingly, the study made several recommendations; the most notably is urging official bodies and educational institutions to provide educational computerized software and to be circulated to elementary public education schools.</p>
