Abstract: The NIST Weights and Measures Division (WMD), formerly the Office of Weights and Measures (OWM), conducts training in mass metrology at Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Over the years, the demand for these courses greatly exceeded the availability. In addition, requests are regularly received to provide refresher training and to provide training onsite. Available resources are not adequate to meet the number of requests. In view of the needs, WMD decided to develop a CD-ROM training course and to transfer the contents of a one-week hands-on course to an interactive, multimedia CD-ROM metrology course that would include interactive activities, knowledge checks, examples, video demonstrations, and numerous specialty graphics and photos.This paper presents 1) background information about the project, 2) an overview of the NIST Weights and Measures Division Basic Mass Metrology Seminar, 3) the process used for content development and review (from the original request for proposal and project description to final product review and delivery), and 4) numerous lessons learned during the development of the course. The course material is being translated into Spanish for even wider distribution and metrology support.
