Scott,
CBT does have a place in training. However, as a tech writer who also
teaches at the college level, I can assure you that CBT will never
replace humans in the classroom. In *good* classes, instructors don't
just stand there and lecture--they teach in a hands-on environment and
offer real-life experiences that can't be duplicated by a software
program.
