摘要
在WWW的發(fā)展中，基于計算機(jī)的培訓(xùn)(CBT)是一個經(jīng)常被忽略的領(lǐng)域。作家有能力跨越全球教育讀者。同樣地，讀者隨時能利用基于WEB的CBT,選擇為他們工作得最好的站點(diǎn)。作家應(yīng)當(dāng)估計他們的教材在讀者身上的影響,重視新的信息將會起到的作用,一次介紹多少信息,可視化設(shè)計對信息表達(dá)的重要性, 和交互式測驗(quizzing) 將會顯著地改良讀者記憶他們已經(jīng)讀過的信息的能力。
導(dǎo)言
基于計算機(jī)的培訓(xùn)(CBT)是一個早就有的主意, 多年來效果一直很好。 全球信息網(wǎng)現(xiàn)在提供引導(dǎo)在全球各地 CBT 的可能性,沒有平臺的依賴局限 , 郵寄材料的費(fèi)用, 而且識別感興趣的使用者。 而不是為想要使用給定的 CBT 課程的人尋找，網(wǎng)絡(luò)允許讀者以他自己的速度找材料然后閱讀。 因為網(wǎng)頁可能在任何的點(diǎn)被更新, 使 CBT 材料保持最新的是可能的，除了 HTML的編輯以外不許再做其他的事。 使作家和讀者之間溝通的頻道時刻保持暢通,即使兩者之間從沒見過面或有任何的連絡(luò)。 最后, 服務(wù)器端手稿的使用和交談式表格的出現(xiàn)使讀者可以不被監(jiān)督著測試成為可能 。

Abstract
Computer-based training (CBT) is an often-ignored area for development on the World Wide Web. Authors have the ability to teach readers across the globe. Similarly, readers can take advantage of Web-based CBT at any time, choosing the site which works best for them. Authors need to account for the impact their material will have on readers, taking into account what effect new information will have, how much material to introduce at once, how the visual design is important to the conveyance of information, and the fact that interactive quizzing will dramatically improve the reader's ability to retain what they have read.

Introduction
Computer-based training (CBT) is an old idea, and one which has been used to great effect for many years. The World Wide Web now offers the possibility of conducting CBT on a global scale, without the usual restrictions of platform dependence, the cost of mailing materials, and identifying interested users. Instead of searching for people who would like to use a given CBT course, the Web allows the reader to find the material and review it at his own pace. Because Web pages can be updated at any point, it is possible to keep the CBT materials up to date without having to do anything except edit the HTML documents involved. It is also possible to keep channels of communication open between author and reader, even if the two have never before met or had any sort of contact. Finally, the use of server-side scripts and interactive forms make it possible for the reader to be tested on what he has learned without any need for supervision.
