Computer-Based
Training
SORM provides many
interactive CD-ROMs available to state agencies for individual training.
The CD-ROMs offer state agencies an innovative way to train employees in safety,
health, and regulatory compliance issues. SORM will loan state agencies computer
CD-ROMs that allow employees to receive individualized training while sitting
at their own desk.
Using the CD-ROMs, employees can navigate through a user-friendly combination
of audio, full-motion video, text, and colorful graphics. Courses are divided
into a number of logical sections, each with its own quiz and test, so information
is easily understood. Each course is 30-45+ minutes long.
The discs also provide an easy way to document who has completed the training.
The user-friendly guide that accompanies each CD-ROM will ease you through the
log-on procedure and establish record-keeping and tracking reports. The system
will also generate a certificate when the course is completed.
Agencies interested in using the CD-ROMs for training should contact Steve Shearman at steve.shearman@sorm.state.tx.us or
(512) 936-1477.
The deadline for returning the discs to SORM will vary, depending on the number
of employees being trained. The requested discs will be mailed to the agency,
and then the agency should return the training CD-ROMs to SORM on time.
