WBT is a new, creative method for delivering computer-based training to widespread, limitless audiences. WBT represents a shift from the current paradigm of CBT, where the information presented is usually stored on the local machine, a local server, or a local CD-ROM, to a system where information is distributed via the world wide web (WWW) and most likely is stored at a distant location.

The WWW uses the Internet - a vast, worldwide collection of computer networks which share information - to delivery information to the local computer. Via a computer program called a browser, the information is displayed to the user. This information consists of text, graphics, audio, video,animation, and so on.

The vast majority of information presented in this guide applies to WBT. The information presented in this section is designed to point out the unique information you need in order to make intelligent decisions about the use of WBT within your organization.
