PI Programmed instruction (PI) is used in computer-based programs consisting of text, graphics and perhaps multimedia enhancements.
Material to be learned is grouped into chunks of closely related information. Typically, the trainees are presented with the information in the chunk and then tested on their retention of the information. If they have not retained the material, they are referred back to the original information. If they retained the information they are referred to the next chunk of information to be learned. PI may be computer-based but is also found in printed material and interactive videos.

CBT Training provided in part or whole through the use of a computer. Computer-based training is the term most often used in private industry or the government for training employees using computer assisted instruction.
CMI
Computer-managed instruction (CMI) uses a computer to manage the administrative functions of training such as registration, record keeping, scoring and grading.

ICAI Intelligent Computer-assisted Instruction (ICAI) provides some of the primary characteristics of a human tutor. This is a more advanced form of PI. Expert systems are used to run the tutoring aspect of the training, monitoring trainee knowledge within a programmed knowledge model and providing adaptive tutoring based on trainee responses.
ITS
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) make use of artificial intelligence to provide tutoring that is more advanced than ICAI type tutoring. ITS learns through trainee responses the best methods of facilitating the trainees learning.

Simulations Computer simulations provide a representation of a real life situation and the tasks to be performed in the situation. The representation can range from identical (e.g., word processing training) to fairly abstract (e.g., conflict resolution). Trainees perform the tasks presented to them by the computer program and the program monitors their performance.

Virtual Reality Virtual Reality is an advanced form of computer simulation, placing the trainee in a simulated environment that is virtually the same as the physical environment. This is accomplished by the trainee wearing special equipment such as head gear, gloves, etc. which control what the trainee is able to see, feel, etc. The trainee learns by interacting with objects in the electronic environment to achieve some goal.
