This article systematically investigates, defines, and organizes variables related to production of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) courseware for the U.S. Army Logistics Management Systems Activity (ALMSA), St. Louis. Initial decisions regarding selection of analysis and design methodology, hardware, software and authoring languages were strongly influenced by availability within the ALMSA user community. Subsequent refinements may be required, but prototype boundaries have now been delineated for this prototype effort.
