How cost-effective is computer-based training?

Article Abstract:

Lumber companies can utilize computer-based training (CBT)programs to boost learning at a lower cost than that of traditional education. Two advantages of CBT are scheduling convenience and the possibility for self-pacing. Animation, clear video, and narration can enliven class sessions, and the cost is significantly less than using traditional classroom training.
