Real-time
Instantaneous response to external events. A real time simulation, like a driving simulator, follows the pace of events in reality.
Request for Proposal (RFP)
The official document produced by an organization that requests vendor bids for specific products and services. Also, the tool that many power-wielding, sadistic training managers use to inflict needless pain on naive, desperate vendors.
Repurpose
To revise pre-existing training material for a different delivery format. For example, instructor guides and student manuals are often repurposed into web-based training.
Reusable Learning Object (RLO)
A specific chunk of content and code that represents an assessment, exercise, instructional content, etc. In theory, RLO's can be used in many different courses. Like the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and the famed jackalope, RLO's are frequently discussed and seldom ever seen.
