Authoring Instructional Materials (AIM)- Interactive
Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) Interface
March 2012
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
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
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
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
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
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
Overview of Operational
IETM/AIM Interface
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
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
Demo of Current Interface
Technical Process for IETM Interface
Interface Process
• EXTRACT structural data (“table of contents”) from IETM database
• IMPORT structural data into AIM
• BROWSE IETM 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

Change Impact Report
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)
