Web-based training: Difference between revisions

Web-Based Training (WBT) is mostly a form of computer-based training and that generally uses a learning management system (LMS).

One of the first Web-based systems was WEST (Web Educational Support Tools) developed at University College Dublin in 1995 (?). It later evolved into the high-end commercial product [TopClass] System that is still sold. WEST back then contained already most of the features of a typical Learning Management System.

It is interesting to know that even at the beginning of the Web on could find more advanced uses, e.g. Bertrand Ibrahim's [World-Wide algorithm animation] (Postscript file) presented at the [First International Conference on the the World-Wide Web].
