About This Book
Why is this topic important?
Making training solutions available in a timely manner is increasingly critical to add value
to an organization. Training groups that are seen to be responsive and in touch with the
corporation’s needs are perceived to add increased value. Therefore, a consistent, replica-
ble, and efficient instructional design model that enables rapid development is increas-
ingly critical. Projects move faster when everyone in a training organization or project
team understands, adopts, and follows a consistent model.
What can you achieve with this book?
The purpose of this book is to provide a consistent, replicable, and efficient model that will
get training and performance solutions to market at the time they will provide the opti-
mum benefit.
How is this book organized?
This book is divided into four parts. Part One is Multimedia Needs Assessment and Analysis.
This part explains the activities that must be completed for twelve types of analysis and as-
sessment and a rapid analysis model that can be used once each of the individual activities
is completely understood. Tools are provided for each type of assessment and analysis to
document and track the data and results of analysis. Part Two is Multimedia Instructional
Design, which explains how to develop a Course Design Specification. A Course Design Spec-
ification creates the “rules” for all project members to follow to make a project run more
efficiently and effectively. Again, tools are provided to complete each activity. Part Three is
Multimedia Development and Implementation, which outlines the common and unique ele-
ments of producing computer-based, web-based, distance broadcast, and performance-
based solutions. Useful task tracking and development tools accompany the explanation of
each delivery media. Part Four is Multimedia Evaluation. This part describes how an organi-
zation can develop an evaluation strategy and, further, how to create an evaluation plan for
each project. Specific instructions on how to collect and analyze data within each project
plan are included to help project teams complete an evaluation that is credible, consisting
of both validity and reliability. Four appendices contain completed examples of tools, and a
fifth appendix shows examples of the tool templates that are included on the CD ROM.
