A number of models have been developed which delineate formal procedures for instructional design. Systematic application is usually time-consuming, and time means money. Research into strategies for reducing costs while maintaining professional standards is discussed in terms of: 1) the degree to which all steps in systematic development are formally applied; 2) the complexity of the learning tasks which are the object of instruction; and 3) the orientation of the organization and personnel responsible for developing instruction.
