Simulated training Training employees on special off-the-job equipment so training costs and hazards can be reduced. Computer-based training (CBT) Electronic performance support systems (EPSS) Learning portals Computer Based Training Advantages Reduced learning time Cost-effectiveness

Instructional consistency Types of CBT Intelligent Tutoring systems Interactive multimedia training Virtual reality training

Distance and Internet-Based Training Teletraining A trainer in a central location teaches groups employees at remote locations via TV hookups. of

Videoconferencing Interactively training employees who are geographically separated from each otheror from the trainervia a combination of audio and visual equipment. Training via the Internet Using the Internet or proprietary internal intranets to facilitate computer-based training.

Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS)

Sets of computerized tools and displays that automate training, documentation, and phone support, integrate this automation into application and provide support thats faster, cheaper, and more effective than traditional methods Development Dasler: Development is learning that goes beyond todays job and has a more long-term focus. Manajerial On The Job Training Job rotation Moving a trainee from department to department to broaden his or his experience and identify strong and weak points.
