Using computer-based training as a medium for facilitating a cooperative-based learning environment is a concept that has recently been receiving a lot of attention. A combination of cooperative learning principles, technology-driven tools, and performance-based assessment have proven to be a successful approach for teaching technical skills, while at the same time reinforcing teamwork skills.

The foundations of the Cooperation, Technology, and Performance (CTP) model are largely based on proven learning and assessment theories that have been combined to create performance-driven results. This session will introduce the CTP model and how it is used by the Veteran's Benefit Administration to achieve maximum return on investment. Application of the CTP model to other jobs and/or industries will also be discussed.
