What is the difference between a CD-ROM or CBT (computer based learning) and an online course?
A CD-ROM or computer based training has a disk that you plug into the computer any time you wish. You work with the materials without the assistance of an instructor or a group of other people. Online courses may be led by an instructor with a group of students taking the course from many different locations. You have the networking opportunity, emotional support and knowledge of all the people taking the course with you.
