Title
Computer training and individual differences: When method matters
Abstract
This study examined individual preferences for three common software training methods: computer-based training (CBT), video tutorials, and instructorled classroom training. Two hundred and sixty-three licensed users of a software product were interviewed by phone and asked about their perceptions of the usefulness of the training methods. Results indicate that CBT and instructor-led classroom training are perceived to be more useful than videos and that CBT may be an effective and lower-cost substitute for classroom training for some groups of computer users.
