This is followed by a section on proven general techniques for rapid development that includes at least one case example of each technique. The next section addresses specific rapid development techniques for each of the end products where applicable, and includes illustrations of the techniques in use. The next several chapters follow the model described above, but for each of the other major delivery processes, including OJT,asynchronous and synchronous, and structured mentoring. The last few chaptersexplore the use of various techniques for rapid course development, includingself-directed learning, performance tools, and more modern delivery system techniques, including computer-based training, and the new mobile technologies such as podcasting and PDA-based learning.
