Computer-Based Instruction Authoring Tools System (CATS): Lesson Maintenance.

摘要

This technical note supplements the Computer-Based Instruction Authoring Tools System (CATS) user's manual (NPRDC Tech. Note 90-27). It is intended for instructional developers who update CATS courseware. CATS is a government-owned set of software tools for constructing and presenting interactive courseware on a personal computer. It was developed by Systems Engineering Associates (SEA), San Diego, through a series of contracts with the Navy Personnel Research and Development Center (NAVPERSRANDCEN). CATS has continued to evolve because of the relative ease with which a government-owned system can be modified and enhanced to meet the needs of new government projects. This publication is one of three technical notes that supplement the user's manual. This document describes the lesson maintenance system. A second report addresses the presentation system using a prototype software program called Lesson Manager (NPRDC Tech. Note 90-28). A third report is intended for students who are taking the computer-based version of the Defense Systems Management College's funds Management and Tools for Program Management lessons. The objective of this effort was to provide instructions for the use of the disks that the students are given to run each lesson. Keywords: Courseware maintenance. (KR)
