Task oriented and real scenarios simulation
The CBT is “task oriented”, where specific tasks (i.e. Publish Alert; Manage Distribution Lists) is mapped to CBT lessons. Each Lesson overviews the tasks and components involved, followed by a guided interactive ‘try me’ part to practice the features viewed. The interactive part is following a ‘real’ scenario that the trainee completes.
