1. Time to Develop

This survey is designed to determine an industry average for the amount of time it takes to develop one hour of instruction for Instructor Led Training, e-learning, simulations and various other types of online instruction from simple (page turners, limited interactivity) to complex (moderate to high levels of interactivity).

Based on your experiences, please consider the design of the instruction from "A" to "E", as in ADDIE. The "E" for our purposes is formative evaluation. Not summative.

You will be asked for a MINIMUM number of hours and then a question asking the MAXIMUM number of hours. If you have no experience directly related to the question please DO NOT put an answer. The results will be averaged and reported in an upcoming web article.
