Research abstract
The Internet, via the World Wide Web (WWW), currently provides some self-help learning programs. Technical Learning Resources, Inc. (TLR), using its proven methodology and courseware, intends to combine its resources on the WWW to provide online training. Together, TLR and the Internet can provide powerful training tools to those who use the Internet or work within company Intranets. This proposal emphasizes TLR's vision of combining its process of personal instruction and current courseware--online. Internet technologies are platform independent the courses would be available to all people having access to the World Wide Web. Potential methods of delivery for research are: A. The courseware contents would be transferred to a standard database format. SQL queries are then called through the website, the resulting data is passed back through ODBC and embedded dynamically into a template, viewed by the user. By developing templates for this Web-based training program, TLR can provide updated, effective courseware and reduce future production costs. B. To convert current courseware materials into HTML format and offering simple examples or using each course. Using Index methods, WWW users could easily find topics by clicking on specific subjects or using a simple search routine to locate examples.
