Utilization of the principles of instructional systems development and of educational technology can eliminate the inadequacies of instructional program development by the (usually untrained) teacher responsible. The four military services have created an interservice committee on Instructional Systems Development, which has created an instructional development model with divisions into three major phases of system design, system development, and instructional delivery. The procedures developed essentially imitate the cardinal principles of good management. Faced with unacceptable alternatives, the Navy decided to gather at a single site the experts in the field to actually design the instructional programs for the instructors. The management of the Naval Education and Training Program Development Center, which has 270 persons and expects 400 more, requires careful coordination and control to ensure that each persons's specialties are used appropriately.
