2. Self guided learning

In this form, the training package is installed on a computer that does not require any network or Internet connectivity.

Typically one or more DVDs may install the package directly to the hard disk or the entire course may be run from the DVD itself.

Example: Learning a foreign language from home.

The course is offered as a set of DVDs. Once they arrive, you install each part of the course as you need to. A good course may include the following features

• Clearly written, well laid out text base lessons that the student reads from the screen
• Video lecture you can see and listen to a person.
• Audio features such as sound clips providing examples of spoken language
• Video material showing people speaking in specific scenarios - restaurant, work etc
• Plenty of written exercises for the student to undertake using keyboard and screen
• Quizzes and puzzles to help make it a bit more fun
• Glossaries and summaries of key points
• Paper based material for additional work and support material
