Many organizations are considering adopting computer-based training and are now investigating the hardware/software market for the tools to create and implement courseware in their training environments. One problem they face is that of altering their course presentations from the traditional classroom format to that of an independent structure centered around a computer-based environment.

At issue are design considerations such as learner control, branching, mastery criteria, remediation, and others. In fact, most of the design must be redone in order to maximize the instructional potential of the technology. It would appear that such an undertaking would be too costly in time, resources, and money. But that is not necessarily the case.
