RELAD: A Rapid eLearning Authoring And Developement Model

In this paper, a new eLearning model, the Rapid eLearning Authoring and Development (RELAD) model is proposed. This model combines the analysis, design and development steps using new generation of authoring tools. A costing model is also described and it is used to show that the RELAD model can significantly reduce the cost of eLearning development compared to the traditional ADDIE model.
