Word) with which you are experienced and the types of deliverables you created with each tool.

(Example, were you involved in curriculum development and in preparing course outlines, or did you only develop courseware deliverables after another team member [or the client] completed the curriculum and course outlines?)
>
> 5. Discuss your experience developing instructor-led deliverables (i.e. InfoPak/UPerform parent documents, child documents, concept slides, exercises, training data).
>
> 6. Discuss your experience developing web-based courseware deliverables (i.e. storyboards, transaction simulations, audio/video elements).
>
> 7. (If the candidate expresses
significant web-based experience, I normally ask the candidate to...) Discuss your involvement in the web-based courseware engineering. (Example, did you prepare only the storyboards and hand off the course for someone else to engineer the content - mouseovers, popups, animations, etc.)
>
> 8. In your experience with past projects, what training development metrics did the training leadership use for developing new instructor-led courseware? (i.e. For every hour of instructor led course content, how many hours of training development did the leadership allow?) (You may expect this same question for web-based courseware, if that is a significant part of the overall training expectation. )
>
> 9. Were you responsible for the full course development (from course outline through the final deliverables including training data), or only selected deliverables? Be prepared to give details if you do not have experience in the full
course development cycle.
>
> 10. Discuss the most difficult training development (instructional design) challenge that you personally overcame, and provide details of your success or opportunity to improve.
>
> 11. On your past projects, were you solely responsible for developing the learning content and knowledge check questions?
>
> 12. Did you have an editor or technical writer that reviewed your courseware drafts prior to client review? If yes, characterize whether the corrections made by the editor/technical writer were extensive, moderate, or minimal. If moderate or extensive, discuss one lesson-learned that you took away from the editorial review process on a prior project.
>
> 13. How would you rank your own comfort level and experience with the client's designated business language (i.e. English, Dutch, German)?
>
> 14. Discuss your experience in reviewing other training
developer/instructi onal design work from other team members.
>
> 15. I believe every training developer/instructi onal designer has both strengths and weaknesses they bring to a training team. Discuss one area of strength where your team members looked to you for guidance and expertise. Also, discuss one area where you looked to other members of the team for assistance.
