What is involved in designing CBT programs?

• A. Translating competencies into learning objectives, curricula, and instructional strategies.
• B. Defining performance metrics for unrelated departments.
• C. Scheduling facility maintenance and equipment checks.
• D. Selecting office supplies for training sessions.

Answer: (A)

Designing computer-based training programs starts with translating the required competencies into clear, measurable learning objectives. Those objectives specify what the learner should be able to do after completing the program, providing a concrete target for assessment. From there, you build the curriculum—organizing topics, sequencing modules, and integrating activities and assessments that naturally lead to mastering those objectives. The instructional strategies are the methods you use to deliver the content and give learners opportunities to practice and demonstrate their skills, such as interactive modules, simulations, case-based activities, and timely feedback. When the objectives, curriculum, and instructional methods are aligned, you can accurately measure whether the competencies have been demonstrated. The other options involve operational tasks (metrics for unrelated departments, facility scheduling, and selecting office supplies) that don’t address how the training content is designed or delivered.
