ABSTRACT
The last stage in the preparation of a courseware package is the transformation of the detailed plan (the screens and the control algorithm) into a set of instructions for the computer. We do not see it to be the function of this book to go into great detail as regards this task. We have, indeed, stressed at several points, that if the initial design is well and fully documented, an instructional designer who has little expertise in the computer language concerned can, nevertheless, plan all the details of the courseware, leaving the coding to be performed, as a sub-contracted task, by a specialist programmer. The instructional designer must, however, have a thorough knowledge of what is possible/impossible/easy/difflcult to accomplish with the given language, in order to plan a package that the programmer will be capable of transforming into a working system.
