RTA
Rapid Task Analysis is not a replacement for a Front-End Analysis of job performance. It is an alternative that focuses on skills/knowledge, provides less information and has a quicker turn-around than an FEA. RTA is a systematic process for identifying performance requirements at the task level before entering the predesign phase of ADL solutions. An RTA provides inputs from which ADL solution designers build learning modules.
