As our ultimate goal is to
enhance service delivery through education, we know that it is important that
our training recipients are not only able to learn new material, but are also
able to apply what they learn in their work environments. Our programs are designed
specifically with those aims in mind.
Over the past several years, the World Wide Web has become an
increasingly important media for the education and training of behavioral healthcare
providers. Compared to traditional workshops, the advantages of web-based training
include: convenient anytime-anywhere access; more efficient time utilization;
reduced travel and material costs; more easily revised and updated content;
private, self-paced learning; more opportunities for examples, practice and
feedback; immediate records access; and a broader dissemination.
