  1. Authoring Instructional Materials (AIM) December 2008 Jake Aplanalp AIM/CPM Program Manager NAWCTSD Orlando 407.380.4685 Jacob.Aplanalp@Navy.mil

  2. Focus of Presentation • AIM Background & History • AIM & Current Navy Standards • AIM Software Status • AIM & Future Navy Standards • Questions

  3. Authoring Instructional Materials (AIM): • Government-owned & managed system used by the Navy to design, develop, update, manage, and integrate training content • Provides automated conformance to standards (NAVEDTRA 130A/131A, ILE) resulting in efficient, cost effective development & maintenance of learning content • Links learning requirements to performance standards • Links learning content to Interactive Electronic Tech Manuals (IETMs) (**S1000D & other formats) • Automates identification and notification of potential learning content update requirements based on performance standard & tech datachanges • Streamlines integration of changes into previous learning content baseline with minimum impact (because built on relational database) • Supports multiple output methods (paper, PDF, HTML, & SCORM conformant XML formats) AIM is a mature application & service provider supporting the development & sustainment of 300,000+ instructional hours of formal Navy training content

  5. AIM-based Learning Content Usage* • Others include: • SWS • NSWC • SPAWAR • NMPT&E • NSTEP • CPPD • CNE • CID • CEODD • CSS Big “3” Example *Data captured in 4th Quarter of FY07

  6. AIM Management Organization Configuration Control Board (CCB)/ Resource Sponsorship: Surface/Air/Sub/NETC Functional Area Manager OPNAV Functional Area Manager OPNAV – N79 Functional Area Manager OPNAV – N00T Functional Area Manager OPNAV – N12 (proposed) Executive Steering Committee (ESC) Functional Requirements Board (FRB) Program Manager OPNAV N75 Program Manager NAWCTSD Orlando Prime Support Contractor- Columbus Technologies System Support Office (SSO) NAWCTSD Orlando

  7. AIM & Navy Training Standards • AIM follows ISD rules of the PADDIE model • AIM I built on NAVEDTRA 131A Personnel Performance Profile (PPP) based curriculum model • AIM II built on NAVEDTRA 130A Task based curriculum model • Traditional AIM links content to CTTL / PPP tables • AIM continues support for traditional 130/131 content formats as well as ILE content rules per evolving NETC & Navy Standards • AIM outputs • Printable Material (PDF), SCORM-compliant XML Files (LMS, electronic classrooms, repositories), CeTARS CMS Web service, & Database export for use in other AIM systems or content authoring tools

  8. Why Modernized AIM?Modernized AIM Can Tie This Entire Content Lifecycle Process Together!

  9. AIM Modernization Timeline

  10. ILE Architecture – 1 Start with Validated Requirements (Competencies) Competencies/ JTA

  11. ILE Architecture – 2 Plan Learning Development by linking to Competencies and Derived JTA Data Stored in Repository Competencies/ JTA Learning Objective Statements Course Planning

  12. ILE Architecture – 3 Use Learning Plan Data Linked to Competencies and Derived JTA Data to Build Learning Objects Competencies /JTA Learning Objective Statements Course Planning Course Development

  13. ILE Architecture – 4 Deploy/Manage Learning Objects Competencies /JTA Learning Objective Statements Course Planning Course Development Competency Delivery

  14. ILE Architecture – 5 Use Links to Competencies, Derived JTA Data and Technical Data for Surveillance/Maintenance of Learning Objects Competencies /JTA Learning Objective Statements Course Planning Course Development Course Maintenance

  15. AIM Considerations • History of AIM – consistent success in past, updated over time, now extending to ILE-based learning – leveraging historical ROI and TOC reduction • One GOTS tool supporting: • Traditional content development/maintenance • Migration of traditional to new (ILE) • New development (ILE) • Gaps in current Navy Training Environment: • ILT in ILE suite • JTI/NJA/NLOS links to learning content • Integrated, performance-based design, development, and maintenance of both ILT and self-paced learning content • Automated surveillance capability to drive down significant total ownership cost of learning content • Modernized AIM can fill those gaps

  16. Summary • What can AIM do for Centers/SYSCOMS? • Leverage historical strengths in standardized content design, development, surveillance, maintenance, production, management, and user support • Be used for Traditional (130/131) &Future (ILE-based) training content • Provide strong support for RIT II themes – especially “Tie Learning to Navy Work” & “Navy Learning Continuums” • Leverage AIM team, contract, and user community infrastructure that is in place to support users

  17. Summary (Continued) • What AIM program needs from Centers/SYSCOMS? • Active AIM Users: • Participate in the FRB and supporting IPTs • Provide input to improve the toolset • Non-AIM users: • Try AIM on a small scale (traditional/modernized) • Get training and assistance to support trial efforts
