It notes that OJT can be used to teach single skills or tasks and as part of a structured process including preparation, presentation, evaluation, and feedback. The document also discusses job design which involves specifying job content, methods, responsibilities, and location.

9. Challenges of Computer-Based
Training
 You are writing for the screen, so you must say more with less.
 You are creating an application, so you may also have to invent or modify
a user interface for your CBT.
 You may need to learn an authoring program or language in order to
produce your effects. (HyperCard or Authoring are two programs that
will allow you to author programs.

 Advantage: It gives user the feeling that they are interacting with the
computer immediately.
 CBT lessons run on some other software; they imitate the software you

product itself.
 Advantage: Learners are able to feel that they are learning immediately.
