| Reflections |
CBT/WBT/WBE seemed to be at first very similiar approaches to teaching and learning. This week discussion led me to understand that they are all different and what makes them different. One must agree that while they are similarities in these approaches, the internet or web, clearly identifies their roles. I enjoyed finding learning theories that related to these concepts. I responded to a number of blogs (6) for the first time this week, which helped to understand my classmates better, seeing ideas from their perspectives. I think I am going to enjoy this course after all.
I have written three articles so far of topics that interest me, and are currently related to my school. I do hope that my classmates will enjoy reading them, as much as I did putting them together.

Hello Marcelle,
I do agree with you in that CBT, WBT, and WBE have some similarities and one main difference which is the use of the Internet. I still look at CBT as a program delivered via the local drive or some form of storage media. I am getting use to the notion that CBT is downloadable as well as delivered via the Internet with the absence of an individual working with or alongside of them. I enjoyed your post and your site is put together well.

Marcelle,
In my discussion on computer-based instruction verses web-based instruction, I focused on the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Alessi & Trollip (2001) listed the magnitude of the web, slow access speed for some users, inconsistency in the availability of sites, and security concerns as disadvantages of web-based instruction.
Langenback & Bodendorf (1997) suggest that distribution of computer-based instruction, inability to revise courses, and the lack of collaboration among learners as disadvantages to computer-based instruction.
It appears that these authors agree that the advantages of web-based instruction out weigh computer-based instruction. Among these advantages are learner collaboration and ease of distribution of web-based materials.
