Authoring Instructional Materials (AIM):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 130B/131B, ILE)

resulting in efficient, cost effective development & maintenance of learning content

• Links learning requirements to work definition based on Job Duty Task Analysis (JDTA) standard

• 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 data changes- “Concurrency Management”

• 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 400,000+ instructional hours of formal Navy training content

AIM & Navy Training StandardsAIM & Navy Training Standards

• AIM follows ISD rules of the PADDIE model

• Working closely with NETC N74 to support new policy changes:– AIM I built on NAVEDTRA 131B Personnel Performance Profile (PPP) based

curriculum model– AIM II built on NAVEDTRA 130B 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 including new JDTA methodology (NETCINST 1510.4) for defining work as the basis for training requirements and learning content structure

• 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

MT Continuum Prototype ProjectMT Continuum Prototype Project• Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) re-engineering 30+ week

training pipeline for TRIDENT Ballistic Submarine (SSBN) Missile Techs (MTs) into blended just-enough/just-in-time ILE-conformant Instructor Led (ILT) and self-paced segments

• AIM CPM and LO Module toolsets part of SSP’s baseline business process for this re-engineering

• First major end-to-end design, development, and maintenance project that’s defining CPM/LO Module business rules and data exchange mechanisms

• MT Continuum team:

– SSP / contractors - Requirements Owners– NAWCTSD / AIM team - CPM/LO Module support– LSI, Inc. - ISD and self-paced content design/development

AIM SummaryAIM Summary• History of AIM – consistent success in past, updated over time, now

extending to blended learning – leveraging historical ROI and TOC reduction

• One GOTS tool supporting: – Traditional content development/maintenance (NAVEDTRA 130/131)– Migration of traditional to new content standards (ILE)– New development/support of blended learning (ILT & self-paced)

• Gaps in current Navy Training Environment:– ILT in ILE standards/toolset– JDTA 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• AIM toolset is filling those gaps as demonstrated by MT Continuum

prototype project
