Implementing AIM at Your Activity – A General Approach Based on Lessons Learned
Objective of PresentationObjective of Presentation• To begin to answer some questions you may
have regarding AIM implementation at your activity including:– What is AIM?– Why should I use AIM?– What are the different AIM products and which
should I use?– How should I approach implementation?
What is AIM?
• Government-owned & managed system of software tools used by the Navy to design, develop, update, manage, and integrate training content
• Provides automated conformance to standards (NAVEDTRA 130A/131A, ILE)
Why should I Use AIM?• 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 data changes
• 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)
Why should I Use AIM? (Continued)
• AIM is a mature application & service provider supporting the development & sustainment of 300,000+ instructional hours of formal Navy training content
• Use of AIM has proven results, it supports efficient, cost effective development & maintenance of learning content
What are the different AIM products and which should I Use?
• Traditional Navy Curriculum Development– AIM 1 supports NAVEDTRA 131
• Personnel Performance Profile (PPP)-based curriculum development• Traditionally used by Undersea, parts of Surface and some Engineering
activities– AIM 2 supports NAVEDTRA 130
• Task-based curriculum development• Traditionally used by Air, part of Surface and most other activities
• New Navy Curriculum Development– AIM Learning Object Module supports new Navy guidelines as reflected
on the ILE website it will be adapted to meet future guidance from NETC
• It is packaged with both AIM 1 and AIM 2 products• Supports reuse of traditional AIM content when re-authoring to meet new
curriculum guidance
What are the different AIM products and which should I Use? (Continued)
• Content Planning Module (CPM) is designed to:– Link Learning Objective Statements (NLOSs) to
Competency and Job Task Analysis Data– Link NLOSs to Learning Objects– Provide the capability for populating important project
information to assist with management of learning content development efforts
– CPM is currently being adapted to enable linking skill data to existing traditional learning content
What are the different AIM products and which should I Use? (Continued)
• So which do I use?– If you work for NETC it is strongly recommended that you
discuss this with NETC N74– As of this date the CPM and LO Module are new tools, you
should anticipate significant changes toCPM in the spring of 2009
• A series of relatively small prototype projects are underway using CPM and LO Module
• To do your own prototype it is recommended that you check with NETC N74 first and then work closely with the AIM team
– There is much more experience with the traditional tool set but it has limits especially if a transition of content to self-paced E-learning is anticipated
How should I approach implementation?• To discuss a CPM and LO Module prototype contact the AIM team• To implement traditional AIM consider the following:
• Course selection– New projects and major revisions– Develop short courses first to build expertise– Sun-downing (do not convert courses scheduled to be
canceled with 3 years)• For initial projects get help from AIM team (in person or via
web-meeting) early on in process (before moving from Course Training Task List (CTTL) to learning objectives and again before leaving Course Outline of Instruction (COI)
• Build an AIM guru for your activity– Send them to formal training– Have them contact the AIM team for web-based
assistance and follow-on training– Have them represent you on the AIM Functional
Requirements Board (FRB)
