Towards Multimedia Based Training Systems

摘要

Training has always played an important part in human learning. During the last few years new trends of training have been introduced due to technological developments. Computer based training (CBT), like other forms of individualised learning, is a manifestation of training technology. Today's technological advances have moved CBT into new dimensions. The introduction of multimedia in CBT makes it even more beneficial and interesting. The benefits of multimedia based training (MBT) over conventional training are apparent. The paper looks at he changes which have taken place in training environments through the use of CBT and, in particular, it concentrates on the introduction of multimedia into CBT. This is achieved through the discussion pertaining to the development of WORLDRIDE, a training system which helps its user to explore countries and learn about their culture and civilisation.
