Web-based training (WBT): interactive modules for any LMS
A web-based training (WBT) is an interactive learning module that runs in the browser: learners work through chapters at their own pace, explore content and check their knowledge. courseticket creates WBTs with AI from your material – as an xAPI package for your LMS.
What is a WBT?
Interactive learning at your own pace
A WBT divides a topic into chapters with text, graphics, explorations and knowledge checks. Learners set the pace, progress is saved. Unlike a PDF, a WBT invites action: click, match, try things out.
- Chapters with progress bar and resume
- Interactive graphics, explorations and matching tasks
- Knowledge check per chapter, results via xAPI in the LMS
Example
WBT examples from our production
A university module on personality psychology in eight chapters: navigation on the left, progress in view, every lesson with a guiding question.
Profile
A WBT at a glance
A university lecture script became an interactive learning module: the content comes from the material, structure, graphics and interactions were created with AI and reviewed by experts.
Feature | Foundations of personality psychology |
|---|---|
Topic | Differential and personality psychology, bachelor's module |
Scope | 8 chapters |
Interaction | Interactive graphics, comparing profiles, reflection questions |
Knowledge check | Final knowledge check with feedback |
Navigation | Chapter bar, progress bar, resume |
Tracking | xAPI: chapters, answers, progress, completion |
All examples were produced in the same process: you provide the material and set the direction, we produce, you review in a critical design review, and the module is published.
Use cases
What a WBT is good for
- Higher education & further training
Teaching content as a self-study module – for preparation, deepening or as a blended learning building block.
- Expert knowledge in companies
Prepare products, processes and policies so that employees learn them at their own pace.

WBT or CBT?
WBT, CBT or PDF – what is the difference?
The term WBT distinguishes the browser-based module from the older computer-based training that was installed locally. Compared with a PDF, a WBT adds interaction and measurable learning success.
Feature | WBT | CBT | PDF document |
|---|---|---|---|
Runs | in the browser, via the LMS | installed locally or from a data carrier | as a file |
Interaction | Exploring, matching, knowledge checks | depends on the program | none |
Measuring success | via xAPI in the LMS | usually not centrally | not possible |
Updating | centrally, instantly for everyone | redistribution required | distribute a new file |

Frequently asked questions about WBT
A web-based training (WBT) is an interactive learning module that runs in the browser. Learners work through chapters at their own pace, explore content and answer knowledge questions. An LMS records progress and results.
A computer-based training (CBT) is installed locally or launched from a data carrier. A WBT runs in the browser and is provided via an LMS – so it can be updated centrally and learning success can be measured.
Usually 15 to 45 minutes per module. We split longer topics into chapters or several modules so that learners can study in short units and resume at any time.
No. Our WBTs are built with AI agents and skills as open HTML, not in an authoring tool. If you want to produce them yourself, you can learn how in our AI workshop.
Having a WBT produced by courseticket starts at €480 per module, which corresponds to the minimum effort of around three hours. Effort depends mainly on the amount of material, the number of interactions and translations. Billing is by effort at an hourly rate or as a monthly subscription with a fixed hour quota. Net production costs come on top, such as tokens and access to external AI services. A classic e-learning agency typically charges €3,000 to €15,000 per module.
Yes, in any LMS that can launch xAPI packages – in the courseticket AgenticLXP as well as in other systems. We use existing SCORM courses as source material.
