Abstract
A simple yet detailed process for analyzing and comparing instructional development models at the task and subtask levels is described, justified, and illustrated. The analysis process ensures that all major instructional development tasks and their subtasks are identified, assigns weights to the subtasks, and facilitates the comparison of different prescriptive models task by task, according to both comprehensiveness and operational level.
