2. What is the best way to design a
great paper airplane?
Do you think the answer would be
different for designing a lesson plan?

3. Learning Objectives
-Major elements within the professional biographies of
the designers who adapted the rapid prototype model
for instructional design, Tripp and Bichelmeyer.
-Major theory upon which the rapid prototype model is
based.
-Major impact of the rapid prototype model on the
broad field of instructional design.

4. What steps do you use to design
instruction? What ID models do
you know?

5. Rapid Prototype Model
Development
Eli Steven D. Tripp and Barbara Bichelmeyer
adapted the rapid prototype model to use
for instructional design in 1990. For more
information, read this PDF article: “Rapid
Prototyping: An Alternative Instructional
Design
Strategy”
Eli Tripp and Barbara Bichelmeyer were
working in the instructional technology
center at the University of Kansas when
they started thinking about the rapid
prototype model.

6. The theory upon which this model
is based.
The rapid prototype model was first
used in engineering in the 1960s.
Why? This model helped engineers
to design products more quickly, and
it also cost less money.

7. Tripp and Bichelmeyer thought this
model could also save time and
money in instructional design.

9. Assess Needs and Analyze
Content
Collect information about the
learners, the learning context,
and the material they need to
be taught.

10. Set Objectives
After collecting
information, set the
objectives that the
students need to achieve.
This will make it clear what
students need to learn and
do.

11. Construct a Prototype
(The Design Phase)
Quickly, with little research,
design some instruction.

12. Utilize the Prototype
(The Research Phase)
Use the instruction in a real or
realistic classroom. See whether the
instruction works or not. This is the
step in which the research happens.

13. Repeat the design phase and the
research phase many times. Make
changes to the first design and try
completely different designs, then
use them in a classroom and see if
they work well.

14. Install and Maintain System
Choose the design that worked the
best in the research. Use this
design in all the regular classrooms
that need the instruction. Follow
up on these classrooms, and keep
testing the effectiveness of the
instruction.

15. Advantages of the Rapid Prototype Model
The designers of the instruction get
feedback from the students and
teachers who will use the
instructional design early in the
design process. This prevents
instruction from being thoroughly
designed that teachers don’t like or
that has a serious problem.
It also saves time and money.

16. Disadvantages
Some people think that thorough
research of learning theories is
important to design the best
instruction. They think that the
rapid prototype model saves
money, but can’t get as effective
results as traditional models.
