Genre: EDUCATION / Training & CertificationThis is the second edition of this book. The first one did very well. Some of the colleges and universities have adopted this book. Usually, I sell between 35-60 copies a month.
Once you have developed your course, you should alpha and beta test it before submitting it to the client. Alpha testing involves interface testing to confirm that the course functions the way it should. Very often, alpha testing reveals misspelled words, ambiguous directions, broken links, poorly developed interactions, and unsynchronized audio and video.
The second phase of testing is known as Pilot or Beta testing. During this time, the course is released to the small group of target audience, most likely Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), to ensure its quality and functionality. It is important to have the pilot testing participants avoid making on-the-spot changes to the problems they encounter. Instead, ask them to focus on the course itself and keep an error log of all the issues they want to address. Once the pilot testing is complete, instructional designers and testing participants can meet to discuss desired changes.
