Entry 3 - CBTs vs. WBTs

It's important to note that searching via Google's Blog Search function can lead you to some unexpected results.

Next, locating blogs created by individuals not associated with print media or an organization dealing with Computer Based Training and Web Based Training requires some digging.

http://e-learning-tips.blogspot.com/ provides an overview of many multimedia technologies including WBTs thought the advertisement of their software products. With new hardware and software making video production inexpensive and sites, such as YouTube, making user created video more accessible, Web Based Tutorials will become a more viable option to traditional methods of learning. As more research becomes available regarding the efficacy of mutlimedia education the shift towards integrating this newly accessible technolgy will continue.

Marvin -

I agree with you that searching for bogs is a somewhat daunting task! The results I got from typing in my search criteria were not always what I expected. What I found most interesting is that you can find a blog for ANYTHING, even things you want to know nothing about!

I wonder if the videos that are found on YouTube can ever be considered WBT they would need to create a separte page like YOU SCHOLARS or something like what google did.
