Effectiveness and Efficiency of Computer-Based Training: Recent Research Findings

Abstract

Computer-based training (CBT) is contrasted with conventional instruction and actual equipment training for effectiveness, efficiency and user acceptance. Research dealing with military operations and maintenance training from 1 9 7 7 through mid-1984 is emphasized. CBT is at least as effective as actual equipment training, and tends to be more effective than conventional instruction. Recent studies do not report high relative efficiencies for CBT that were found in earlier evaluations.Student acceptance of CBT is relatively high, but instructor acceptance often is not.

Systematic Review of Augmented Reality Training Systems

“…Computer-mediated training uses a computer to aid human training from multiple perspectives, thereby increasing efficiency and lowering costs, such as minimizing training time and providing a more individualized training format [4], [5]. This paper focuses on computer-mediated training that utilizes augmented reality (AR) technology, which can superimpose information on the real world.…”
