The Effectiveness of Alternative Media in Conjunction with TEC for Improving Performance in MOS Related Tasks

Abstract

This research report addresses two questions: Does CAI provide a suitable and acceptable media for delivering Training Extension Course (TEC) materials to field units. Can Army lesson developers feasibly be trained to convert self-paced, audio-visual materials into CAI format and easily up-date such materials. The approach used was to convert TEC materials into CAI format. The job sequence for each task was followed and each new topic was introduced as needed. This provided a logically-structured, integrated, functional, product-oriented, learner-centered approach. Maximum use of job aids and procedures guides were used in carrying out the Instructional System Development (ISD) process.
