  1. Authoring Instructional Materials (AIM)- Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) Interface March 2012

  2. The Problem • No cost-effective method for responsively keeping learning content current with changes to authoritative technical data • AIM solved for paper and CD-based tech data in 2000 • Navy shifting to on-line enterprise data repositories with no enterprise solution to this problem • Even more important for distributed Web-based training as instructor surveillance efforts are removed • Must address emerging S1000D standard adopted by DoD / Navy

  3. Functional Requirement • Support design and development of learning content tied to performance requirements • Streamline QA review, approval, and configuration management • Simplify instructor preparation and delivery • Promote efficient life-cycle surveillance and update • Enhance cost-effective re-purposing of proven content

  4. Design and Development • Technical and procedural documents are primary authoritative data source for technical training content • For ILT, developer must associate technical / procedural documents to learning content for display in classroom • For self-paced training, developer must include pertinent data and associate tech / procedural document to learning content for computer display and student interaction

  5. QA Review, Approval, and CM • QA must confirm associations made with and data copied from technical / procedural documents accurate and current • Approval authority must ensure complete and accurate learning content in place • Content manager must ensure approved content is prepared by instructors and taught in classrooms / delivered by LMS

  6. Instructor Preparation / Delivery • As part of preparation, instructor must confirm hundreds of links to technical / procedural documents and prepare to present documents in classroom • During presentation, instructor must quickly display authoritative documents to students • For self-paced content, students must launch technical / procedural documents for reference and interaction

  7. Life-cycle Surveillance / Update • Curriculum maintainer must re-confirm accuracy of all links in baseline learning content to technical / procedural documents each time document is updated • Based on that analysis, maintainer must generate change / rev to learning content to ensure it remains current and accurate

  8. Overview of Operational IETM/AIM Interface

  9. Benefits • Integrated, standardized, configuration-managed development, QA, and management of baseline curricula and electronic classroom content • Reduced workload, better accuracy, and faster turnaround for schoolhouse LSO and instructor staff • Reduced workload, better accuracy, and faster turnaround of training content surveillance and update

  10. A Few Metrics . . . • A single 23-week replacement course on-line today contains more than 1500 separate links to more than 5 separate technical / procedural manuals • All tech / procedural manuals updated quarterly • @ 2 minutes per link, review for possible changes during curriculum maintenance would take 50 person-hrs per quarter

  11. Demo of Current Interface

  12. Technical Process for IETM Interface

  13. Interface Process • EXTRACT structural data (“table of contents”) from IETM database • IMPORT structural data into AIM • BROWSEIETM Structure via Resource Requirements List (Site RRL). Launch IETM viewer/browser to verify applicability of reference • LINK specific Related Instructor Activity (RIA) or Trainee Guide (TG) Sheet to IETM reference • CONDUCT SURVEILLANCE of curricula by importing revised IETM structural data and using detailed Change Impact Report/auto-generated maintenance flags signaling affected curriculum elements

  14. Development

  15. Surveillance/Update

  16. IETM Authoring • Unique Element ID: Alphanumeric value used by IETM to assign distinct identifier for specific element • Element Title: English language descriptive name for each individual node in IETM • Persistent Element ID: Unique element ID maintained over multiple versions of IETM • Version Information at Element Level: Alphanumeric value used by individual IETM element to identify change level for that particular element (when element was added or modified)
