In the NFPA 1041 module development lifecycle, what step follows implementation to ensure ongoing improvement?

• A. Implement the module and immediately publish the results.
• B. Rely on initial evaluation only and do not revise.
• C. Evaluate the module and revise based on feedback and outcomes.
• D. Remove the module from circulation after one use.

Answer: (C)

The step after implementing a module is to evaluate it and revise based on feedback and outcomes. This is how ongoing improvement happens: you collect learner input, check whether the module meets its objectives, and look at performance or outcome data to see what worked and what didn’t. With that information, you update content, activities, and assessments to close gaps, strengthen alignment with job tasks, and enhance overall effectiveness. This creates a continuous cycle of improvement rather than a one-and-done delivery.

Choosing to publish results immediately without evaluating leaves no data to drive enhancements. Relying only on an initial evaluation ignores new insights that emerge after real use. Removing the module after one use stops improvement altogether.
