USAMRMC, MeRITS Regulatory
Information Training Program
The Need
The MeRITS team needed an eLearning application
for the USAMRMC Merits Regulatory Information
System in English and Thai, They required Instructional
design, creative design and development services.
Their goal was to train students on the new
Regulatory Information Systems that the Merits
delivered based on location. They needed a
training program for their "100-Series" consisting
of 4 modules. Testing and tracking of the courses
was also necessary to gauge comprehension and
effectiveness. The US Army looked for a company
with the most Instructional Design and eLearning
experience to create a tool to fit their needs
and budget.
 
The Solution
The U.S. Army selected Brookwood to
design an eLearning training program, based
on Brookwood's strong Macromedia and instructional
design background. This was designed so that
it could be tested and approved by the Command
in Fort Detrick , MD prior to content development.
Macromedia Authorware allowed rapid importation
of Brookwood's team generated templates, once
approved. A time allotment of 6 weeks was needed
to design 4 hours of eLearning. The content
generated by the Command in Fort Detrick ,
MD , was supported by Audio, Flash animations
and illustrations created by the Brookwood
graphic design team. During development, images
were reviewed via the Web and content was hosted
by the Brookwood Extranet. Thai version of
the modules was also produced to support training
conducted in Thailand . Thai courses included
sound that was narrated with the local dialect
for higher retention levels and certified to
ensure accuracy.
The Key Advantages
- Approved prototype before
content is completed to streamline production
- Built in multi-lingual options
generate reduced costs in Thai.
- Rich media was designed and
tight dead lines met, using Authorware's
rapid development features and resulting
in high quality output.
- Brookwood hosted an online
version for review and approval sessions.
- Ability to print test scores
