BLOCK III.3: REVIEW/SELECT EXISTING MATERIALS

Introduction

Reviewing existing learning materials for the purpose of determining their potential value for use in the current training program is accomplished at this point. A careful search is made within and between services in order to locate as many candidate instructional materials as possible.

Having made a search and located potentially valuable instructional materials, these materials are reviewed specifically to see whether they meet the learning objectives established for the current training and whether they can be used or adapted for use within the context of the selected learning guidelines and media.

Candidate materials are selected or adapted for use where appropriate, and are rejected when they fail to meet the current needs. If suitable existing materials cannot be found, new materials must be developed according to the procedures outlined in Block III.4.

Rationale

The majority of training programs will not be totally new. Most of them will be additions to, changes to, or revisions of existing training courses. Even if the potential training is new to a given branch or service, there is a good chance that it might have been offered by another branch of the service before. In order to avoid duplication of effort and to take advantage of materials developed elsewhere, procedures are set up through which the organization which manages each DOS can accumulate a catalog and library of existing materials appropriate to that DOS.
