Anxiety management training as a strategy for enhancing computer user performance
Computers in Human Behavior, 1990Abstract This study assessed the effects of self-managed relaxation and cognitive coping skills training on the anxiety and performance of 80 apprehensive computer trainees. The influence of a computer's user friendliness upon these measures was also examined. The college student subjects were taught to use spreadsheet software and were then assigned

Focusing computer training to user needs: the impacts of online and offline training on learning
International Journal of Innovation and Learning, 2007Training is an important means by which to learn computing skills and gain knowledge in new technologies. However, frequently training does not achieve its desired result, and the type of traininghelp can also play an important part. The role of three different forms of training (offline, online, and visual online) in promoting or hindering learning ...
