The Effect of Interactivity and Instructional Exposure on Learning Effectiveness and Knowledge Retention: A Comparative Study of Two U.S. Air Force Computer-Based Training (CBT) Courses for Network User Licensing

Abstract

The United States Air Force (USAF) currently employs the use of computer-based training (CET) across a host of requirements. One such requirement is in the Information Assurance (IA) arena and involves the training/licensing of over one-million computer network end-users. USAF use of CETs has been shown to possess a potential for substantial fiscal savings. However, studies investigating the learning outcomes of learning effectiveness (initial learning) and knowledge retention (sustained learning) associated with USAF CETs are lacking.
