Educators have always been trying to find a way to help the learners in the educational process. Going back to the 5th century Greece, they started with a simple but efficient way to enhance calculation – an abacus. But that was long before the technological revolution and the introduction of personal computers.
Back in 1950’s the first Computer Based Training programmes were invented initially for the aviation industry. These programmes were simple and gave the learners the opportunity to access some documents in an electronic form. That was sufficient enough to support traditional delivery and the trend started to evolve slowly till 90’s. With the rise in the accessibility to PCs more and more educational institutions as well as corporate organisations started to adapt CBT and take it on board. The notion of training with an electronic device as opposed to the student was there but not fully explored.
