T-1
(DS-1): High-speed digital data channel that is a
high-volume carrier of voice and/or data. Often used for compressed video
teleconferencing. T-1 has 24 voice channels.

T-3
(DS-3): A digital channel that communicates at a
significantly faster rate than T-1.
TAPI :
See telephony application program interface.
TBT
(technology-based training):
The delivery of content via Internet, LAN or WAN (intranet or extranet),
satellite broadcast, audio- or videotape, interactive TV, or CD-ROM. TBT
encompasses both CBT and WBT.
TCP/IP
:
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
A networking

Teaching:
A process that aims to increase or improve knowledge, skills, attitudes,
and/or behaviors in a person to accomplish a variety of goals. Teaching is
often driven more toward the long-term personal growth of the learner and
less toward business drivers such as job tasks that are often the focus of
training. Some people characterize teaching as focused on theory and
training as focused on practical application.

radio, optical, or electromagnetic channels to transmit and receive signals
for voice or data communications.

telephony application program interface (TAPI):
A set of calls that allows applications to control modems and telephones,
by routing application function calls to the appropriate “service
provider” DLL for a modem.
Telnet:
A
utility that enables a user to log onto a computer or server and access its
information remotely, for example, from home or a work location in the
field.

telnet:
A protocol used for interactive logon to a remote computer.
Template: A predefined set of tools or forms that establishes the structure
and settings necessary to quickly create content.
Thin client:
1) A network computer without hard- or diskette drives that
accesses programs and data from a server instead of storing them locally.
2) Software that performs the majority of its operations on a server rather
than the local computer, thus requiring less memory and fewer plug-ins.
thunking :A
translation process that converts a 16-bit value to its 32-bit equivalent.
Thread: A series of messages on a particular topic posted in a
discussion forum.
Touch screen: An input device used to simplify user input
and response. The user touches the screen to control the output, working
with
menus or multiple-choice
decision points. Allows some simulation of hands-on training; for example,
pointing to parts on a machine.
Training:
A
process that aims to improve knowledge, skills, attitudes, and/or behaviors
in a person to accomplish a specific job task or goal. Training is often
focused on business needs and driven by time-critical business skills and
knowledge, and its goal is often to improve performance.
Training

focus of the learning experience. Also called seamless technology.
Transponder: Satellite transmitter and receiver that receives
and amplifies a signal prior to retransmission to an earth station.
Trojan
horse:
A malicious computer program that appears legitimate but masks a destructive

tunneling :
The process of sending packets to a computer on a private network by
routing them over some other network, such as the Internet.

A font specification by which fonts are stored as mathematical models that
define the outline of each character.
trust-based security :
A cross-platform security model that adds intermediate levels of trust to
the Java security model.
Tutorial:
Step-by-step
instructions presented through computer or Web-based technology, designed to
teach a user how to complete a particular action.
TWAIN :
An industry-standard software protocol and API that provides easy
integration of image data between input devices, such as scanners and
still image digital cameras, and software applications.
TWUNKER :
A virtual device that allows communications between 32-bit and 16-bit
applications.
type information The Automation standard for
describing exposed objects, properties, and methods to an application or
programming tool that accesses an exposed object. You provide type
information in one of two ways: (a) as a type library written in Microsoft
Object Description Language (ODL) and compiled by the MkTypLib utility or
with the Microsoft Interface Definition Language compiler, or (b) as a
data structure exported at run time. See also static type information and
dynamic type information.
