Guidelines for Designing Courseware for the Computerized Hand-Held Instructional Prototype (CHIP)

Abstract

This research presents guidelines for designing courseware for CHIP (Computerized Hand-held Instructional Prototype), an electronic training aid developed by the Army Research Institute. First, using the framework of instructional systems development, a method of selecting appropriate training content for CHIP is described. Next, a procedure is given for screening and planning a particular CHIP curriculum. Finally, an authoring tool that enables conversion of the curriculum to CHIP format is reviewed, and other resources required for the conversion are discussed. Throughout the discussion, examples and lessons are drawn from five CHIP applications by the Army, Navy, and Air Force, which have undergone the process of selecting, planning, and converting curriculums to CHIP.
