BLOCK III.2: SPECIFY INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN AND DELIVERY SYSTEM

Introduction

The initial step in Block III.2 is the specification of the instructional delivery system. Media selection is a major means for determining how the instruction is to be presented to the student. The choice of the media mix has an impact on both the effectiveness and cost of training.

A systematic approach to media selection requires consideration of the nature of the objectives, the learning category of each group of objectives, use of learning guidelines, and use of learning activities based on those guidelines.

Because instructional requirements are different for different learning objectives, equipment and facility constraints, cost of procurement, cost of replacement, development costs, and the characteristics of the students must all be taken into account.

Based on the determinations made in this block, existing instructional materials will be examined in Block III.3 to determine whether they are suitable for instruction in a new situation. It will often be necessary to make some adjustment in the instructional delivery system in order to accommodate useful high quality materials discovered as a result of this search.

A second principle step in this block is the preparation of the system management plan which is the principal organizational document for the instruction. It indicates exactly how the instruction is to be conducted, how the students are to be managed, when and where they will be tested, what the instructors and other support personnel are to do, and how each of the many elements within the plan work together.
