CBT Course Design

The CBT System can be designed and structured around your own unique training requirements.

Orchid’s wealth of industry and communications experience allows our technical authors and programmers to write and develop CBT modules that deliver content in an interactive and engaging manner. Your existing training material can be assessed, and where suitable, adapted into the CBT learning environment.

CBT Modules are assembled from a variety of ‘assets’, designed to communicate the subject to the trainee. Assets can include:

  • Text
  • Graphics – diagrams, photographs, screen shots etc.
  • Sounds – voiceover, effects, etc.
  • Video
  • Animation – software simulation, machinery operation, etc.

Some assets are costly to produce, such as professionally shot video, whereas other assets, such as photographs and drawings, can often be sourced from existing training materials and utilised cost effectively. This approach allows effective CBT to be developed within budgetary constraints.

CBT Modules become more appealing for the trainee if they contain elements that are interactive. These can include tests and puzzles, whether designed to allow the trainee to check their progress or as part of a formal final assessment, where the results would be recorded in the LMS.
