Since personal computers became common, learning via computer has been something of a holy grail for trainers. The promise of effective training done at the worker's own pace and computer is an attractive one for trainers and managers.

The training world has moved from CBT (computer-based training) to WBT (web-based training) to e-learning (also written elearning), online learning, and distance learning. Note that training is now called learning, emphasizing what the learner does, not what the trainer does! Also, some trainers do distinguish nuances among the various current terms: distance learning, for example, need not be technology-based. It could be a correspondence course!
