Issues in Developing and Implementing Computer-Based Instruction for Military Training

Abstract

This report discusses the issues involved in fielding a computer- based instruction (CBI) program for military training. This report is based on a series of CBI projects sponsored by the Training Technology Field Activity (TTFA) at Fort Knox, KY. Based on the lessons learned from TTFA's experiences, 25 recommendations are made. These recommendations stress careful planning at the different developmental stages, coordinating the work of many people, having all participants co-locate at the instructional site, following the SAT (Systems Approach to Training) method of courseware development, meeting the instructor's needs, and conducting careful evaluations. Actively involving school management personnel in the CBI project is also stressed.
