1.) Informal.
It consists of the on-line identification of information. It is not exactly training. That is so because neither formal instructional strategy, nor elements belonging to formal learning (such as: presentation of material, application exercises and feedback) are included.
2.) Self-paced.
The self paced eLearning process consists in the use, at the rate and time selected by the learner, of elements of CBT – Computer Based Training or WBT – Web Based Training.
The learner uses the lessons stored inside the computer or the learner uses the lessons from the CD-ROM or DVD.
