Hi,

I would like to know the pro's and the cons of the two CBT's. Which would you recommend and why?

Thanks

Nikka
 
Nikka,

The key difference is in the level of interactivity of the two simulations. In the case of STT a fully functional simulation of the screen is captured while in SAP Tutor the captured screen is essentially "dead" until only the limited amount of functionality required to carry out the specific tasks is overlaid.

At the outset this may not seem like such a big difference but the implications are massive:

* The STT simulation is much more realistic than the SAP Tutor offering. Most analysts agree that learning is facilitated through more accurate simulation.

* Testing based on the full possibilities of the screen presented to the trainee is obviously much more relevant than when based on very narrow allowable interactions.

* With each control on the screen managed as a sepperate object it is possible to configure the screen to behave in exactly the required manner.

With the recent release of STT Trainer 4.0 STT have significantly upgraded their development environment. This has made STT lessons even easier to develop as well as supporting the development of the materials through the use of their central repository architecture.

This reply has obviously come through as an ad for STT. The reason for this is that on all areas of comparison STT shows a greater depth of functionality than SAP Tutor.

One sided but true.
