CBT

Computer Based Training is a form of education in which the student learns by executing special training programs on a computer (formerly via CD-ROM or a bunch of floppies!). The value was, unlike Web-based training programs, CBT does not require an Internet connection. CBT is especially effective for training people to use computer applications, because it can be integrated within a tutorial so that students actually use an application as they study it.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a type of psychotherapy intervention that focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, and bringing about the development of personal coping strategies that target problem solving.
