Our Value Proposition
Learn More in Less Time
When evaluation studies quantify the differences between Computer-Based Training (CBT) and conventional classrooms, CBT typically results in about 30% greater learning, in up to 40% less time, than conventional classroom methods. Effects typically are stronger for adult and young adult populations than for children. For example, a Kulik, Kulik and Shwalb1 meta-analysis of studies on adult populations found:
Performance of CBT learners on examinations is an average of about 26% to 37% higher.
CBT learners need 6% to 37% less instructional time, with an average of 26% less time.
Long-term retention is an average of 15% higher for CBT.
Attitude toward CBT ranges from no preference to a 33% preference to CBT.
The combination of CBT with an instructor is most effective.
Increase Access / Flexible Scheduling
Web-based tools and resources provide the ultimate in flexibility and increased accessability with 24/7 learning anywhere the learner has access to the Internet; urban, rural or remote. It's learning that adapts to your location and schedule. Deliver learning at a school or learning centre, from home or work; during the day, evenings or at night, or on weekdays or weekends.
