Abstract
Computer-based training is rapidly being implemented in organizations. Many advantages of this approach have been suggested (e.g., self-paced instruction, uniform content, and long-run cost efficiency) along with several potential disadvantages (e.g., noncompletion rates, computer availability). Despite the purported advantages of computer-based training, little research has examined the effect of computer-based training on learning. This field study systematically compared computer-based sexual harassment training with traditional instructor-led training. Overall, the results suggested that having a training course on sexual harassment, regardless of method of training, increased learning among the university employees who participated in these sessions. Reactions to both types of training were positive.
