Due to the fact that the actual Bergman & Moore model was developed in 1990, finding actual products created with the model today in 2011 is quite difficult.  Many new models have been developed since then and the model has been updated as needed by others.  There are not many examples available online to share or review that are documented.  In order to demonstrate examples of the Bergman & Moore instructional design model, some examples of multi-media video products were selected and the following documents and examples were created or used assuming what the production would look like using the Bergman & Moore model.

Examples of Instructional Design Products:

• Films and materials for the rapid training of military personnel
• Multimedia CD-ROMs as stand alone educational software
• Instruction manuals (i.e. the software "for dummies" series)
• Materials produced for open, flexible and/or distance learning
• Tutorial videos
• Instructional learning games 

Examples of Standard Documents Bergman & Moore Used & Found Helpful in Creating their Products:

• Bergman & Moore Symbols used in Flow Charts
• Blank Bergman & Moore Master Super Story Board Form

The main goal of the Bergman & Moore model is documentation and deliverables preparation in order to visualize the end result prior to beginning.  The model then begins by building the project team with roles, responsibilities and commitment, then moving into the planning agenda.   After the planning agenda is complete, the Bergman & Moore model follows 6 main steps to develop and implement a product.  Each of the 6 main sections (highlighted below) within the instructional design include Input, Activities, Deliverables, and Evaluation steps. 

The planning agenda includes the 12 items as follows: 

1. Introduction to the Project
2. Identification of the Goals
3. Potential Application Areas
4. Preliminary Schedule of Major phases
5. Key Roles and Responsibilities
6. Preliminary Training Requirements
7. Determine need for Formal Analysis
8. Identify Potential Vendors
9. Identify Vendor Support Requirements
10. Estimate Project Costs
11. Secure an Agreement to commit resources
12. Agree on the next Project Activity
