This proposed model and the components developed, will be used as the skeleton for all courseware training manuals. As a former trainer and small business owner, I bring a plethora of knowledge and experience to this particular topic. In my new role as a Training Manager, I plan to institute changes and improvements in the instructional design process.
Instructional design requires clearly defined benchmarks achieved through a time-tested process.
I learned that similar components of this project have been attempted, but unsuccessful. This was largely due to the lack of tying all the elements into a comprehensive methodology. In my current observation and knowledge gathering, I have determined that the failures occurred because of the lack of an internal training and preparation program. Just because a methodology is developed does not guarantee quality application and implementation by representatives of the company. Effective instructional models are based on learning theories.
