Training for what....???

Depending on your needs depends on what type of application and if one is
available.

Many training type apps can be made (with a little bit of thought) in
presentation type applications like PowerPoint, Astound,
and OpenOffice Presentation or the more advanced ones in Flash or
Authoreware

But for premade ones need more in put... is it for kids.. is is training
for bank tellers...

Have a look here for some kids learning games and applications

me darn pooter karnt spall! In the use of the PC. I want to use them for
recipients of machines from Komputers 4 Kids to allow them to learn the
basics of the machines. (Not so much the kids, but the parents) I need
freeware or royalty free so that I can pass them on with the computers,
and use them in instructing. (All Komputers 4 Kids machines are given to
children in education from low income families that cannot afford to buy
one at no cost.)

After doing some computer training myself, I would recommend that someone
who has no experience with computers NOT try to learn on their own. Many
community college extensions offer some version of "Introdiction to
computing" classes. That's where I would start them.

For instruction in the O/S I'd start them on "Start" "Help" or "Take the
Tour" under Accessories.

For instruction in a specific application, I often point people to the
"help" section which usually contains an extire manual and is often
interactive.

Sorry to be so basic, but I haven't found any freeware CBT (Computer Based
Training) avaiable for the PC that doesn't cost big bucks if it's any good,
and the internal help is often better than people give it credit for. That,
with the guiding hand of an instructor can get new users off on the right
foot.
