An Enhanced Instructional Design Process for Developing Interactive Courseware

Abstract

This report contains a description of the design process developed to create interactive computer-based courseware for the Model Training Program for Reserve Component Units (MTP-RC). The first part of the report describes the limitations of the standard Systems Approach to Training (SAT) process when applied to the design of the highly interactive computer-based training (CBT) and the reasons why the design team sought to increase the efficiency of the process. The second and major part of the report describes the design processes that were developed and added to the SAT model and how they were to create MPT- RC courseware. The major enhancements to SAT were (a) the use of analysis and design procedures focused at the course level, (b) the development and use of decision-making guidelines to aid the selection of content and the selection of instructional strategies, and (c) the application of software engineering techniques to CBT. The application of these tools can aid other instructional designers in creating computer-based training courseware more efficiently. Keywords: Armor training; Maintenance training; M-1 tanks; Systems approach; Army training.
