Training Types
WEB BASED TRAINING (WBT)
Web-based training (WBT) is an approach to distance learning in which computer-based training (CBT) is transformed by the technologies and methodologies of the World Wide Web, the Internet, and intranets.
EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE
Trainees’ learning motivation is much higher if they understand the meaning and the purpose behind a specific lesson. They will understand the learning objectives that shall be met and will be able to autonomously assess whether they have met them or not.
MAIN LEARNING CONTENT
In this step, trainees systematically learn the basics and the “big picture” within the learning content.
PROVIDE EXAMPLES
Sometimes theory can be quite difficult to grasp, but if it is served in combination with a set of good examples, trainees will acquire a better understanding and connect the learning material more easily with their daily work routine.
EXCHANGE INSIGHTS
Enabling trainees to exchange their newly acquired insights allows them to build a deeper understanding and be more likely to remember the learning content later.
TEST PERFORMANCE
Any kind of training is pointless if it does not include at least some kind of assessment that answers whether the learning objectives have been met or not.
PROVIDE A SUMMARY
A presentation of a lesson’s key messages will wrap up the lesson for trainees and provide mental anchors for an easier recall of the learning content later on.

Our CLS software is available as a server-client solution, i.e. all you need is a PC as a local workstation and internet access.
