ABSTRACT

The media used in corporate learning centres include Compact Disc - Read Only Memory (CD-ROM)/Digital Versatile Disk (DVD), e-learning programmes, audio, Compact Discs (CD), video, the Internet and e-mail, and of course books and workbooks. CD-ROM offers an interactive learning experience between a learner and a computer in which the computer provides the majority of the stimulus, the learner responds, and the computer analyses the response and provides learner feedback. DVD is similar to CD-ROM, but has greater storage capacity. Audiotapes and CDs are very popular with corporate learning centre users, as they can be listened to in the learner's own time and while commuting to and from work. Videotapes are popular for a similar reason, because they can be viewed at home. E-mail and e-learning are some of the most widely used features of the Internet, and are now used extensively by many organizations. There are now a huge variety of Internet-based e-learning programmes available.
