Three Aspects of PLATO Use at Chanute AFB: CBE Production Techniques Computer-Aided Management Formative Development of CBE Lessons,

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the process of lesson production at Chanute AFB during the period of Instructional System Development (ISD) involvement. The report considers four major factors influencing lesson production: implementation of the 'lean approach', the ISD role in lesson production, the transfer of programmed instruction techniques to Computer Based Education (CBE), and the general method of lesson production (group vs. individual). Each factor is discussed in terms of its effect on the quantity and quality of lesson production. The author describes factors affecting the implementation of a system-designed, team-authored CBE production process; discusses the use of PLATO as a management tool; and examines the modifications made to 8 sampled lessons to achieve the validation criteria.
