CAI201, a training program that takes students through the training program design process, is conducted via computer assisted instruction (CAI), and is directed toward the individual who has been charged with designing a training program but who lacks an understanding of how to proceed. This manual provides the program designer with background information to assist him or her in performing the program design steps; actual performance of these steps is accomplished by use of the worksheets and forms contained in the companion manual, "The Design Documentation Package." At the end of the course, the student should have designed a training program. Available at any time, the course may be taken at the student's own pace; it runs under the IBM program products, ITS and IIS. (Author/JEG)
