Subject matter experts (SMEs) arrive at NETPDTC to review and revise Training Manuals (TRAMANs) and Advancement Exams. Using the model of the traditional instructional systems development (ISD) process, a Navy Chief SME, working with a team comprised of an instructional designer, instructional developer, a graphic artist, a videographer, a programmer, and an editor, will tackle the ordeal of producing a paper-based product with a shelf life of 5-8 years. The current production process averages 2-3 years. To reduce this burdensome and time-intensive process and to produce courses that remain relevant in the ever-evolving technology of Navy warfighting systems, the Naval Advancement Center (NAC), a department of NETPDTC, re-engineered the design and development process. NAC looked to industry to provide best re-engineering practices and developed the Reusability Architecture. The Reusability Architecture incorporates conceptual and modularized reengineering of the design and development processes associated with training products. It is the warehousing of the lowest common knowledge structures (text or media) in a massive database, which may be manipulated by the training need or the end user. The formulated Reusability Architecture populates a database accurately and rapidly, and facilitates output in a number of formats. By reengineering the design and development process to maximize the utility of databasing knowledge structures, the SMEs can now move fluidly between the two major assignments of TRAMANs and Advancement Exams. The development process, for the non-authoring members of the team, is transparent. This paper presents training course development model concepts and the newly developed reengineered design model, using an example from business' best practices for re-engineering processes. The paper then provides a brief overview of the Reusability Architecture and how SMEs can use it to simultaneously develop and design new courses and Advancement Exams. The new process uses four fewer personnel per team by providing advanced electronic performance support tools that combine many of the previously distinct personnel functions. The Reusability Architecture also provides fully functioning rapid course prototypes in about two minutes, a significant reduction over the previous process.
