Interservice
Procedures for Instructional Systems Development
By way of an introduction, here are some frequently asked questions.
Answers What is the Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development? It is a full set of procedures for the production of performance-based instruction. In other words... it shows you how to: - analyze a job - pick what parts of the job to train - design performance measures and lesson structures for that training - develop the media to present that training, and - evaluate the outcomes of the training to judge student performance and the effectiveness of the course. Who developed the Interservice Procedures? Robert K. Branson, as Principal Investigator, Gail T. Rayner, J. Lamarr Cox, John P. Furman and Wallace H. Hannum, through the Center for Educational Technology, Florida State University, at Tallahassee, Florida. It was prepared under a contract to the US Army and written to serve as the official procedures for developing performance-based instruction for the US Armed Forces. When was the Interservice Procedures developed? It was first published in 1975 and has been in continuous use since that time. It is used by many countries as the official procedures for their armed forces training units. Can I get a copy of all the volumes? As the US Goverment presently only offers the IPISD on microfiche and ERIC offers it in microfiche and in paper copy, I have decided to republish the volumes in an Html "weblet" distribution/installation package. You can purchase the "weblet" from this website. The Executive Summary and Model, will always be available on-line, and it will be included in the Html "weblet". These "weblet" is an executable file (.exe) that contain an Html version of the volumes. It will be available to download as a .zip file to compress its size. You can download a "weblet" onto you local computer, un-zip it, install it, and have it available to you any time, by clicking on an icon. Will the "weblet" version look like the on-line version? No. The content is the same but the weblet will not have all of the advertisement and AAA Encyclopedia menus. The weblet has a comprehensive menu that spans the Executive Summary and the five procedural volumes, as well as an internal navigation menu within the volumes. Why did you use the Html "weblet" format for the download version? I have used this format successfully to publish reports for my clients. They are easy to use and convenient to download and email. Also Html has the virtue of being universally available and will probably never be superseded as a viewing format. The Executive Summary and Model is available here at AAA Encyclopedia by clicking FORWARD at the bottom of this page. The complete Annotated Bibliography and Glossary for the volumes is also available here from the top menu. The Html Weblet Edition is available by ordering from this site through Reg Now, which handles the ordering for us. What is in the Executive Summary and Model? The Executive Summary is an overview of the process steps that are elaborated in the whole set of volumes. It provides a flowchart of the full set of procedures, and for each procedural step in that flowchart: an introduction, rationale, inputs, procedures, outputs, and management decisions. It does not provide the more extensive "how to do it" that is provided in the Html Weblet Edition. It is a complete overview of the necessary components of any systematic process for the design and development of performance-based instruction, perhaps the only one published on the web. While it has some military jargon, all acronyms have been tagged with "hot spots" so that you can see what they stand for by passing your cursor over them. All flowcharts are linked to the relevant sections and there is a high level menu to help you navigate. How is this different from Mager's book on Objectives and Dick and Cary's book on Instructional design? The scope of the Interservice Procedures is larger than other instructional design publications. It is a master's degree in a set of volumes. It is a training consultant's handbook, filled with practical guidelines based on empirical science. The Executive Summary is the best explanation I know of for the process of targeted development of job-based instruction, as developed and taught by the pioneers of Instructional Design at Florida State University. It is also the only set of volumes that shows how Job Task Analysis fits within the process of Instructional Systems Development. Most instructional approaches start with the goal or objective of the training, but the Interservice Procedures shows you how to rationally determine what components of an existing job should become the objectives of the training. It is a set of volumes about the real world. How you make decisions based on job criticality, departmental funding, and the practical limitations of presentation of instruction. Uniquely, the Executive Summary includes a discussion about the implementation issues for introducing such a rational decision making system into an existing training system based on training curricula devised solely by Subject Matter Experts. This discussion is still highly relevant today. The issue of introducing change within existing systems is faced regularly by training consultants. Isn't the Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Design just about training soldiers and sailors? No, it is about how you can train for performance of any defined job task. Many countries use their military to train their citizens in skills for their greater economy. An Army plumber will do quite well as a contracting plumber for the building industry. Why are you such a fan that you would spend a year of your life getting this up on the internet? I think this set of procedures should be more widely available. It has stood the test of time, and the skills and processes contained in it have formed the foundation for the entire instructional design industry. It is a historically significant and seminal document. It is the basis for all subsequent instructional design methodologies. The world of business has accepted that training is supposed to be designed rationally in order for the employees to perform their jobs competently, but there is a shortage of trained practicioners. Outside the United States, there are not enough university courses to meet the worldwide demand for Instructional Design practitioners, so many have to train themselves. These volumes provide a sound basis for self-instruction. Besides, I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Bob Branson and Gail Rayner at the Center for Educational Technology while I studied for my Phd. They taught me the practical application of Instructional Systems Design. These practical skills and the knowledge and guidance provided by Walter Dick, Robert Gagne and Leslie Briggs formed the basis of a fruitful career as a consultant. This year I can give something back to the profession by making this available to the world via the internet. What are the copyright restrictions on the Interservice Procedures? Aside from the graphics, the majority of the content in this product is in the public domain. However, I ask that you respect the hundreds of hours of work that we have invested to reproduce this seminal work in an easily accessable html format. We would like to continue to offer this work in it's unabridged form, with fully interlinked and complete text from the original 1975 publication, which is over 1,000 pages long. We hope that the price that we charge for the full IPISD product will allow us continue to do that, and to recover our costs. We have made very minor (but unique) changes to some of the text to identify the work as having been produced by us. The original graphics have been modified and enhanced by us, and we reserve all rights to the image files.
