The purpose of this paper is to describe these difficulties and the tools used to overcome them. In particular, the aim is to show how elements of cognitive psychology theory (concept maps, semantic networks) and instructional theory (the Gagne taxonomy) combined with mainstream epistemological research help formalise and transmit industrial knowledge through the design of training multimedia.Design/methodology/approach – The paper reports on action research spanning over ten years, taking stock of the experience gathered through 15 training multimedia projects in three large European organisations and their subsidiaries.
