A Survey of Air Force Computer-Based Training (CBT) Planning, Selection, and Implementation Issues

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the procedures, issues and problems associated with the development and use of computer-based training by the Air Force. Aspects of computer-based training investigated include the planning of projects, project management to include personnel management, computer-based training development procedures and the effective use of computer-based training. A nonrandom sample of Air Force computer-based training experts (N = 253) from 51 organizations completed an extensive questionnaire, answering questions about the planning, selection, development, validation, implementation and maintenance of Air Force developed computer-based training. A subsample of that group was interviewed to clarify questionnaire responses and to obtain anecdotal information. Results indicated the procedures, issues and problems associated with computer-based training. Recommendations to improve procedures and solve issues or problems are provided based on the study results.
