Microcomputer-Based Organizational Survey Assessment: Applications to Training.

Abstract

As sophisticated technology continues to affect organizations, a growing need for efficient, flexible and cost effective training programs becomes paramount. To cope with these increased training demands, many organizations have turned to computer-based training (CBT). The present report describes a XENIX-based IBM PC/AT Computerized Executive Network Survey System (CENSUS) that can interface with CBT training programs to enhance training quality and assess training effectiveness. The multi-user support capabilities of CENSUS allow training-related surveys to be conducted in a more efficient, accurate and reliable manner than paper-and-pencil instruments. It is this microcomputer-based multi-user system, unique to CENSUS, that may provide an alternative delivery system for microcomputer-based training programs in the future.
