CTP CTP Training Technology & E-Learning 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which instructional technology format is best suited for self-paced learners who need flexible scheduling?
- Instructor-led classroom training
- Asynchronous e-learning modules (Correct answer)
- Live webinars
- Role-playing exercises
Correct answer: Asynchronous e-learning modules
Asynchronous e-learning allows learners to access content on their own schedule without real-time attendance requirements.
Question 2: What is SCORM primarily used for in e-learning?
- Designing visual layouts of online courses
- Tracking and exchanging learner data between an LMS and course content (Correct answer)
- Compressing video files for faster streaming
- Creating branching scenarios in simulations
Correct answer: Tracking and exchanging learner data between an LMS and course content
SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a standard that enables LMS platforms to communicate with e-learning content to track completion and scores.
Question 3: Which blended learning approach combines face-to-face instruction with online activities most effectively?
- Replacing all classroom time with videos
- Using online pre-work to prepare learners before in-person practice sessions (Correct answer)
- Delivering identical content in both formats
- Requiring learners to complete online modules after classroom training only
Correct answer: Using online pre-work to prepare learners before in-person practice sessions
Blended learning is most effective when online content prepares learners for higher-order in-person practice, maximizing classroom time for application.
Question 4: A learning management system (LMS) primarily serves which function for a training practitioner?
- Generating graphic design assets
- Administering, tracking, and reporting on training programs (Correct answer)
- Writing instructional content
- Scheduling instructor calendars
Correct answer: Administering, tracking, and reporting on training programs
An LMS centralizes the delivery, administration, and reporting of training, giving practitioners data on completion, scores, and learner progress.
Question 5: When designing a microlearning module, what is the recommended content duration?
- 45–60 minutes
- 3–10 minutes (Correct answer)
- 20–30 minutes
- 90+ minutes
Correct answer: 3–10 minutes
Microlearning modules are typically 3–10 minutes long to maintain focus and reduce cognitive load for learners.
Question 6: Which accessibility standard should e-learning content comply with to support learners with disabilities in the US?
- ISO 9001
- WCAG 2.1 (Correct answer)
- FERPA
- Section 704
