Traditional course development begins with the question – do these individuals need a course?  Next, a design document is created that specifies the desired performance – or learning objectives.   Then the instructor materials and the student manual are developed.  Typically, these focus on individual exercises, problems, and quizzes.  The instructor is selected next -- and the course is delivered.   Everyone is all smiles -- a new level of tacit knowledge fills the team members like helium in a balloon.
