- 1Computer Based Training - CBTCBT uses ICT systems for training in the workplace, usually by making uses of PCs or portable devices. It is about using computers to train people to do different tasks and also train them how to react in different situations.
Example: Health and Safety Training. - 2Computer Assisted Learning - CALCAL covers a whole range of computer based packages which aim to provide interactive instruction in a particular area or on a certain topic
- 3Features of CAL/CBT> Highly interactive
> Used for tutorials
> Uses models for simulations
> Encouraging
> Makes learning fun
> Can be used for learning from a distance - 4Distance LearningIs learning which takes place away from the confines of a traditional teacher/lecturer in a room teaching a group of students. Instead the learning takes place at a different place to the teacher.
- 5Online/ E- LearningLearning that takes place online – this can be in the form of a multimedia product used to teach a particular subject.
- 6Video ConferencingEnables 2 or more individuals in different locations to see and talk to each other and exchange audio, video or any other digital file, enabling the users to share computer applications and even work concurrently on the same file.
- 7Revision ProgrammesSoftware that helps you revise for your exams. Revision programs can come on CD or used direct from a website.

- 17Smart CardsEach pupil has their own smart card/swipe card which they swipe through a computer at the beginning of registration and every lesson. The data is sent to the office either by wireless or file transfer.
- 18BiometricsUses a unique feature of the human body such as fingerprints or pattern on the retinal of the eye
- 19Retinal ScanningRetinal scanning – where a low level light beam is sent into the eye to scan the blood vessel pattern on the retina.
The scan is compared with a database of scan to identify the pupil - 20Fingerprint RecognitionStudent places finger onto scanner
Scanner scans the finger and identifies key features of the print which it stores in a code
Software compares the code to codes already stored to identify the pupil
Attendance details are then recorded. - 21Swipe CardsUses a magnetic strip like a credit card
Used to identify the pupil to the registration system
Pupils can swipe each other in so is open to abuse
Pupils forget their cards. - 22Advantagesof using ICT for systems of registrationx
