Abstract
A computer based training system (1) resides on a server and allows a conventional client computer such as a PC to be used by a student to conduct a course. Information resource (30), content (37), and navigation (31) frames are generated by associated frame programs which operate independently. An Applet control program (32) is a frame program establishing a hidden frame. It receives requests from the information, content, and navigation frame programs and parses an XML content data file to take the necessary actions for progress through the course. The navigation frame program updates progress variables.

22. A computer based training method carried out by a client computer used by a student and a server-based training system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
the system downloading a control program and command line parameters to the client computer, the control program being a frame program having a hidden frame;
the control program parsing the command line parameters to determine the location of a content data file and requesting the system to download said file;
the system downloading a navigation frame program which generates a navigation frame on the client computer, the student selecting desired content by making selections in the navigation frame, the navigation frame program notifying the control program of the selections, the control program parsing the content data field to determine location of said content, and the control program requesting said content from the system; and
the navigation frame program updating course progress variables as fresh content is downloaded and played. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
