The goal of this dissertation was to develop a practical reference guide that trainers and courseware developers can use as an on-the-job performance support tool to develop effective multimedia, computer-based training (CBT) courseware. The foundation for the project was a model that could be applied by corporate training departments to develop in-house expertise for multimedia training production. The purpose was to develop tools that can be used to teach in-house trainers how to design and develop courseware for multimedia based training following accepted principles and models of adult learning, instructional design, and computer-based training multimedia software design. The framework of the proposed model consisted of the following phases: Tools, Standards, Templates, Staff Development, and Support. The model includes guidelines for the selection of software and hardware tools to support the effort; development and documentation of guidelines and standards for CBT design; creation of templates to facilitate CBT authoring; planning and implementation of a staff development program to teach trainers how to apply the principles of adult learning and the instructional design model to multimedia training and how to use pre-authoring and authoring software tools; and a plan to provide support to novice CBT designers.
