A computer-based training (CBT) system was designed to train learners to recognize six styles of 18th century American antique chairs. The project consisted of five phases. The first phase consisted of a needs analysis to determine the training needs for the target population. Three groups of learners were identified: antique sales personnel, interior design students, and antique furniture hobbyists. The design phase determined, through completion of an instructional task analysis, the tasks to be learned. They included identification of chair anatomy, of variations on anatomy, and elements of style. Each task was followed by practice sessions. During the development phase, the Summit authoring system was used to create the American antique chairs CBT software. Formative evaluation was performed during this phase in one-on-one, small group, and pilot test settings. The CBT training was then implemented and a summative evaluation performed. Results indicated that learners using the CBT software were able to recognize and identify the six styles of 18th century American antique chairs. The project concluded with recommendations to improve this version of CBT systems as well as the next module, which would train learners to recognize 19th century chairs. Appendices include a target population questionnaire, project plan, task analysis sheet, antiques knowledge survey I and II, a CBT user guide sheet, storyboards, simulation exercises, CBT checklist, and evaluation data.
