Creative Uses for Computer-Based Training

When Brandon-hall.com published their second annual in-depth report* titled "Design of E-Learning Courses: Lessons from 2003 Custom Content Winners, Excellence in E-Learning Awards" they provided answers to the following:

Where are the best examples of e-learning found?

  • In the corporate world?
  • Academic world?
  • Grade schools?
  • How about in an online user manual for a home printer?

They make the point that real e-learning innovation is all about using the best instructional methods. By emulating winning strategies, you've solved half the battle of learning, whether you're teaching existential philosophy or how to hit a winning forehand. Anything that can be shown online — virtually — is fair game.


The Brandon Hall Report documents an impressive range of learning needs and strategies, including:
