What is the Difference Between IETM and CBT?

Interactive Electronic Technical Manual VS
Computer-based Tutor/training
Is IETM better or CBT better? which is better?
This was the question asked. My answer was that
video film is better. Is the answer funny? if
yes, then the question is also equally funny. It
is like asking if Fan is better or the tube light
is better. The purpose of a fan is entirely
different from light. Both are needed. But you
can not replace a fan with light and light with a
fan. Similarly, there is no comparison between
IETM and CBT. Both are different and both
purposes are different. Both are needed but it is
replicable with each other.
IETM Means technical documentation which deals
with your documents/pdfs/manuals and CBT means
computer-based Training which comprises
Multimedia, i.e. Animations, videos, and
voice-over. Both are two different deliverables.
IETM is all the documents are arranged in a
simple manner so that within a few clicks user
can reach a specific point where it would have
been difficult to do in traditional hard copies
or even in PDFs too.

IETM has a separate purpose and CBT has a
separate purpose.
Unfortunately, When some RFPs are made, they are
combining both. In CBTs, Level -1 means fewer
animations, level 2 means more animations and
graphics, and Level 3 or 4 means more
interactivity, and more 3d and mode graphics. By
adding more animations and 3d to IETM, it does
not become LEVEL -5 IETM Its called IETM Level 4
only but has 2d animations, 3d animations and
videos plugged into this in the form of mp4
videos. If your animations are in HTML -5, then
you can give hyperlinks and your CBT can be
opened in a separate Tab / Window in the
browser. One of the recent documents blew my
mind. They added content /learning and called it
Level -5, and added AR and VR and called it level
-6. AR, VR and E-Learning, CBTs, and Video films
are Multimedia components to enrich user
experiences and un doubted they are very much
needed for effective learning but Mixing IETM and
CBT and increasing levels are something beyond
JSG -0852 -2019 document.

Adding AR/VR/3d/2d/Videos does not increase the
IETM level. CBT and IETM Video Films go hand in
hand for training. They are separate deliverables
and developed for separate purposes. Cost
calculation for IETM is different and calculated
by page count. Assume that 200 rupees per
page The cost calculation of CBT depends on the
number of hours and 2d or 3d. Assume 2 lakhs per
hour AR and VR are calculated as per the
functionalities. And the cost can reach up to 1
crore to 2 crores to implement AR and VR Hanse,
when you are floating RFP make sure that you be
specific, i.e. how many pages do you have? In
case you want to use 2d or 3d animations what is
the duration of 2d and 3d? AR and VR is separate
universe and category. Please dont mix AR and VR
with IETM.
