be used with different embedded training technologies in the future force warrior

Following are some challenges that we will face:

•Different types of developers have different goals

•Different types of developers have different vocabularies

•Different development process

•The design process is a very complex

Instructional Design Challenges

•It is a research and development project

•Its generating innovative learning methods

•It is designing and producing internet accessible

•Collaborative creative thinking and learning

•Engage learners

•New models of learning
