What is the final step in the materials development process after pilot results are incorporated?

The final step in the materials development process, after pilot results have been incorporated, is the issuance of the CCA's Letter of Promulgation. This letter signifies the official approval and adoption of the instructional materials for use within the training community. It establishes that the materials have undergone necessary revisions and evaluations based on pilot feedback and are now ready for broader implementation.

Issuing the CCA's Letter of Promulgation is a critical step as it formally communicates the completion of the materials development cycle to stakeholders and ensures that all necessary parties are informed that the instructional materials are approved for deployment. This step provides a level of authority and endorsement to the training materials, allowing them to be used in formal training environments.

In contrast, the other options, while part of the materials development process, occur either before or alongside the issuance of the promulagation letter, rather than being the concluding step. For instance, creating a detailed report and submitting a Pilot Course Monitoring Report involve summarizing the pilot's findings and recommendations for improvement. The evaluation of instructional materials is often performed during the developmental phases and requires updates based on pilot data, but does not mark the completion of the process.
