Determining alternative curriculum sequences is a tedious task involving many individuals and analysis of large amounts of curriculum-related information. Because these tasks are not readily reduceable to mathematical operations, and because educators and curriculum designers are generally not so inclined, computer intervention into this design process has been meager. Nevertheless, the power of the computer to handle vast amounts of information coupled with its high speed manipulation ability makes it an ideal instrument to use in the instructional design process. The project reported herein describes the development and application of a model by which a curriculum may be analyzed to determine alternative instructional sequences based upon curriculum objectives and limiting constraints. The project's primary goal is to ultimately apply the model to the analysis and design of instructional sequences for 16 closely related courses currently under development by the U.S. Navy Recruiting Command.
