= Rapid Prototyping =
Rapid Prototyping is a methodology commonly employed inmany fields. Ultimately, the idea applys to instructional design. It is a cycle and a process, where a product or project is improved as time goes on. Ideas are tested and revised-- rapid prototyping shows this iterative formation of ideas and how projects are able to come to fruition. On this wikipedia page, [[Starting_Bloc|StartingBloc]] emphasizes the importance of this idea in social and community based ventures. It is taught and implemented in their conferences, where participants are taught what the methodology is, and are expected to apply it to their projects and organizations. == Rapid Prototyping in Action: A Visual == The best way to learn about rapid prototyping is to see a visual of the process. Below is a diagram that reflects how the method works.

A large portion of this page was written with information of the study, [http://www.uky.edu/~gmswan3/609/Jones_Richey_2000.pdf Rapid Prototyping Methodology in Action: A Developmental Study]'''. '''It shows how the methodology was employed in various processes; while the context focused on consumer behaviors and product design, it is a broad framework that can be applied to many different fields.
Not surprisignly, rapid prototyping has many faces and different types of models. These can be utilized in different fields and may vary from the waterfall model to the spiral model. Read more about different methodolgies and how rapid prototyping is used [http://www.instructionaldesign.org/models/rapid_prototyping.html here].
