Why Focus on Live WBT?
• $500.00/student/week• High Interactivity• Quality of Life +
– Expanded access– Link Field - School– Less travel
• Cheap/Fast to produce– Flexible, easy to change– Instructor control– Minimal infrastructure
![Page 12: A Demonstration of Centra: Learning via Centra Symposium, a Synchronous Delivery Software Presented by Russell G. Rhodes and Ken McCrory Center for Scientific](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649e385503460f94b28571/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Live WBT Findings• Instructors, tech staff & students easily can easily teach, deploy and learn via live WBT
• Infrastructure costs are negligible when compared against potential savings
• Works best for knowledge/attitude courses but can be adopted for skill
Method works!
