is the creation of a simplified version of a product. This methodology can be used to find many "bugs" or performance issues quickly. It allows the designers to address these issues quickly.
In an educational setting this can allow an instructional designer the ability to address unforeseen issues quickly and efficiently. It also provides some formative evaluation during the early phases of the educational design. This methodology is built into many web based tools that are utilized by educators. Some examples of these are
Blogger,
ProProf quiz maker, and
YouTube. All of these web based tools allow you to preview things and verify that they will conform to the design. They also allow for rapid changes for improvements.
Today's military are highly mobile and technical driven organizations. On base operations are generally very connected to resources such as internet, electrical power and so on. If a unit is dispatched to a less resource friendly environment this will effect type of training aids that can be used. I would suggest training aides that utilized technology like "e-ink" a light weight electronic screen that uses electricity when the information on the display has changed. This can allow for manuals and books to be used in a portable device such as the kindle, nook etc. These devices can be preloaded with information and often have the ability to use small flash memory cards to add new information. one device could carry the information of a small library. and the batteries could last a couple of days. Also simple flash cards could be used for memorizing information like local plants to avoid, silhouettes of "friendly" vehicles. Teaching simple memory recall exercises that can be preformed in groups of 2 or more people also a great low tech training method.
- GSTE (Guidance System Transforming Education) and (SUTE) Step-Up-To-Excellence:
Both of these methodologies are designed to bring about system wide changes. The GSTE method is based on looking at the core values that have been set up to bring the change and reflecting on how these values will bring about a change in the system and how and what practices it will change. The SUTE method relies on individuals who are committed to change the system to follow a goal for improving based on their experience. This allow a common goal to be set and then allows the experienced people to initiate change to fit the new goals.
