Computer-based Training Computer-based Tutor (CBT) or Computer-based Instructions(CBI)
are synonymous words used for multimedia tutors.
CBT word was used till 2010. After that, it's called eLearning or content development,etc.
This CBT word is basically used for the defense domain in India.
CBT is a computer-based training developed using various multimedia tools to create
graphics, image editing, animation 2d/3d, and videos, etc.
As per the deliverable, every vehicle, system subsystem, or any physical componentwhich
is being delivered to Defence needs Training Aids.
A computer-based Tutor is one of the training aid delivered along with the actual physical
component.
This tutor covers system overview, introduction, subsystems or various parts/componentsused,
assembly, disassembly, operation, troubleshooting, maintenance, replacing of LRUs if any, etc.
The topics may be increased or decreased based on the system.
Its completely decided by OEM, about the depth to be covered and the length to be covered.
Generally, each CBT for a small system has 4 hours of duration and biggersystems will have 100
hours or more. (As per our 20 years experience)
Few OEMs do not want to cover a few topics as a security measure or for intellectualvalue.

5. 15/12
What are the details required to make CBT
Before starting CBT, OEM must finalize the duration of CBT. In some military
RFP/SCOPE duration of CBT is mentioned along with the duration of each topic,
subtopic, and sub–sub-topic.
If that is not mentioned then OEM has to make a Table of content first and mention the
approximate time to cover each topic, subtopic, and sub–sub-topic.
It is called CCID, or course content Identified document. It is basically a full detailed Tableof
content and duration.
Once the CCID document is ready then, the Vendor will collect raw content and make aDCID
document.
Which means a Detailed Course content document. It can also be called a storyboard. This
storyboard will have complete content for every topic, subtopic, and sub–sub-topic.
Also, this document will contain the presentation methodology. It means is this particularsub-
topic is being covered as Video, or Image, Text or animation if animation, 2d or 3d, etc.
Based on the number of words we can arrive at a number of hours.
If the number of hours is more than deliverable, we can concisely edit or delete unwantedtext.

6. 16/12
Once the DCDD is approved by end-user/ Army then we can start production of CBT.
Content Development Approach
Step -1 Shell/ Prototype/Template Design
The first step in the creation of the CBT is to design the functional prototype, branding, skinning
i.e., the template of the course. This will be developed based on inputs like target audience,
their skill/education level, nature of topics, other navigation facilities like
play and Pause
Forward, Rewind
Audio mute, Audio control
Seek bar
Book mark
Glossary
Audio Transcription script
Gallery
Summary
Reference
Help
and prototype/ functional shell will be sent to the client for review and approval.
Step -2 Development of Design Documents
Based on the inputs provided by Subject Matter Experts (SME), a team of Instructional Designers
will prepare a Table of Content / Course content identification Document andStoryboard/ Script/
Detailed Content Design Document consisting of the text that will appear on the screen. The

7. 17/12
corresponding text for voice-over, graphic design instruction
will also be provided. Instructional Designers will interact closely with the SME and obtainthe
inputs, grasp the concepts, reproduce them as content, and finally get it reviewed by the SME/
Client.
The storyboard will be checked for technical, typographical, and grammatical errors.
Checks will also be done to ensure that the content matches the requirements specified by the
client. Errors found will be rectified and the final content will be sent to the client forapproval
and sign-off.
Our instructional designers develop design documents as per the guidelines of principlesof
adult learning, Instructional Design Taxonomies such as Bloom's Cognitive Taxonomy,Dick and
Carey Model, Kemp's Instructional Design Model, Gagné's 9 Events of Instruction, Kirkpatrick's
4 Levels of Training Evaluation
Step -3 Approval of Design Documents
The client will review the Design Document, and pass back the reviewed document with
Comments, suggestions if any
Step -4 Content/ Media/ Assets/ Development and Authoring
After the necessary Corrective Actions are implemented, the multimedia team will put together
the approved template and the contents to create the complete version of the e-Learning
course. Based on the storyboard, graphics and animations will be included at the appropriate
locations to enhance the learner’s understanding of the points being discussed. Voice-over will
be recorded as necessary, and the graphics and animations created will be synchronized with
the text.
This developed version will pass through a series of stringent quality checks sent to theclient
for review and approval. This version is called Alpha Version
Sep -5 Beta Version
The client will review the Alpha version and pass back the reviewed content with comments,
suggestions, etc. for corrections if any. Once these corrections are fixed bythe Development
team then once again the corrected Final version will be submitted tothe client along with
relevant approval documents
Step -6 Gold version

Code and Pixels Content Development Life Cycle (CDLC)
Putting the Code and Pixels Content Development Life Cycle (CDLC) in a simple way:
Our Project life cycle comprises 3 Phases i.e. Pre-project Analysis, Project Production,Post
Project support.
Phase – 1 Pre Project Analysis
Requirement Analysis
Proposals & Quotation
Approval
Phase – 2 Project Production
Pre Production:
Detailed client requirement analysis, Collection of raw material, Project
Planning
Table of Content/Course Specific Document/Course content Identification
Document
Script/Story Board/ Visual Story Board/Detailed Content Design Document
Quality Check
1. Production:
Videography, Photography, Voice Recording
Development of Graphic Assets, Animations, Programming, Integration,
Internal QC
2. Post Production:
Quality Check and Delivery of Alpha/Beta/Gold Versions
Media Generation / Content Deployment / Delivery Training
to users/ facilitators
Phase 3 – Post Project Support
In addition to providing superior E-content, we provide Post Project Support to the client.We

9. 19/12
conduct feedback analysis sessions from different actual users and collect user feedback on the
project/ content so that we can augment the content next time. The bestway to improve the
usability of the content is to address the critics of the content.
LEVELS OF CBT
Level 1. Passive-no interaction
This level is what is commonly referred to as ‘page-turners'. The course is linear andcould
be considered basic training, in which the student acts only as an information receiver.
Basically, the sequence of screens is fixed and the student cannot choose the order in
which you want to see the content, return to a previous topic or browse freely. However, it can
be effective for communicating simple concepts
At this level learners do not interact with resources, they just have:
Graphics, images
Rollovers
Basic quiz questions
Some refer to level 1 e-learning as the “click next” style of e-
learning. It has very low amounts of interactivity (i.e., clicking the
Next button is as interactive as it typically gets) and there is a lotof
static text and images.
Level 1 quizzes are usually basic multiple-choice and true-or-false
questions. Level 1 e-learning, while basic, does have itsplace: it
can be a quick and inexpensive way to cover simple rules or
procedures.
These types of courses or CBTs are used for classroom teachingNo Or
very minimal Voice over is used

Power point-based course development
Level 2. Limited interaction
In this case, the course continues to be basic, but the student has more control over their
training; they can do more than just watch, read and navigate. This level is used for non-
complex operations and maintenance lessons.
At level 2, e-learning courses start to have multimedia. Courses at this level
typically contain some audio and video, as well as some basic animations and
transitions. This level of content is also often accompanied by narrationand
activities such as “click and reveal” interactions.
Typical level 2 quizzes are drag-and-drops and matching activities.
Level 2 e-learning is often used because it’s a nice middle ground that offers a
richer experience for the learner
At this level, learners interact with resources such as:
Clickable animated graphics
Navigation expands to menus, glossaries, and links to external resources.
Often includes simple exercises (i.e. drag-and-drop, matching, and
identification components). Audio and video.
This level is best for courses that are intended to support on-the-job-
performance or when importance is more on the skill development
(Software simulations using Demo, Practice, Perform/Hands-on) , video
documentaries real-life scenarios, etc.
This level is a favorite in the industry mainly because it optimized the balance between
active learning and development time.
Level 3. - 3d, Character animations or high-level TechnicalAnimations
This level gives the highest degree of interaction by the student.
The course includes simulations and the contents are transmitted through the use of
educational games to keep the student motivated.
Basically involves all of the elements of levels 1, 2, and recharged
interactivity; and greater levels of sophistication.
For technical courses i.e. Equipment’s/device explanation, walkthrough, 3d
views, hands-on practice, software simulations where a High level of
interactivity is required to engage users or disseminate knowledge
