Abstract
Development of a curriculum-based instructional system is a complex process. This process becomes more complicated when the system is developed as a computer-based instruction (CBI) system. Because of the size of the curriculum and the number of people involved in developing these systems they are heavily dependent upon a well planned and organized quality control (QC) system. This article discusses the significance of QC for a curriculum-based CBI program and describes one way to establish a QC system. It explains in detail the stages involved in that system and offers a set of recommendations for its maintenance. The system described in this article evolved in response to needs encountered by developers of a particular curriculum-based CBI project and may be adjusted for effective operation of similar projects.
