Define and differentiate between the following: CBT, WBT, and MOOC.

What will be an ideal response?


Computer-based training (CBT) is a type of education in which students learn by using and completing exercises with instructional software. Web-based training (WBT) is a type of CBT that uses Internet technology to deliver the training. CBT and WBT typically consist of self-directed, self-paced instruction about a topic. WBT is popular in business, industry, and schools for teaching new skills or enhancing existing skills of employees, teachers, and students.?A massive open online course (MOOC) offers access to quality education anywhere the Internet is available through a combination of video instruction and interaction with an instructor and students in an online classroom. The MOOC format can vary depending upon the subject matter and instructor's expertise, but most involve videos of lectures, assigned readings, assignments, and interactive discussions. Some instructors open their courses to anyone interested in attending, and they invite people to share the course content. Other instructors, however, keep the course closed and maintain strict control of their resources. Khan Academy is one of the more popular MOOCs, and the short video instructions on thousands of topics have been translated into 40 languages.
