Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development :
Executive Summary and Model (Continued...)
by Robert K. Branson, Gail T. Rayner and J. Lamarr Cox

long high-flow courses have demonstrated improvements in cost per student, time required to complete, and increased effectiveness. These results have been obtained on large systems which use advanced simulators and also in areas of training which use no hardware at all. The common element is the procedure and approach, not the hardware or equipment.

A vitally important management function is the accurate collection and use of cost data. Such data permit cost comparisons as soon as they are available, and, more importantly, make the conduct of cost-effectiveness studies more likely and their conclusions more accurate.

One cost model, produced by the Navy's Training Analysis Evaluation Group, called TECEP (Training Effectiveness and Cost Effectiveness Prediction) is suggested as a companion volume to the Interservice manuals. The TECEP model, or an adaptation or improvement of it, can be used by local commands to accumulate and use cost data.
