  1. Headquarters U.S. Air Force INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY TSgt Ron Taylor HQ AFFSA/XAOT

  2. Instructional Technology • What is Instructional Technology ? • Interactive Course Ware (ICW) • Computer Based Training (CBT) • Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) • AOF Web Program and CBT Library • Future Projects • Summary / Conclusion

  3. Instructional Technology • Interactive Course Ware (ICW) • CBT, Video, etc • Computer Based Training (CBT) • Sitting in front of a PC -- Same as CBI • Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) • Program controls the path to completion

  4. Instructional Technology • Combat Skills ICW • ACC POC • Complete / Distributed • Goal: Familiarize controllers with equipment utilized in their projected area of responsibility (AOR)

  5. Instructional Technology • Aircraft Characteristics CBT • Complete • Single CBT contains interactive menu for aircraft types, test questions and replaces 5 CBTs • Next release proposed to include helicopters

  6. IT Questions?

  7. AOF Web….Overview • What is the Web ? • History • Why the Web ? • Contents of the Web • Making it a reality / responsibilities • Installation • Summary / Conclusion

  8. AOF Web • AOF Web and CBT Library • AOF Web is an information retrieval tool • CBT Library contains the entire complement of CBTs.

  9. What is the Web ? AOF Web Program • Primarily an “information retrieval tool” • Enables immediate access to most commonly used training products using “web based” technology • Is mandatory for use IAW 13-204Ch. 4.6

  10. History AOF Web Program • Concept from McConnell AFB (96’) • MSgt (ret) Daniel Rund • SSgt Ron Desormeaux • Created one-stop shopping for all ATC’s • Demonstrated and adopted by AFFSA in 1997 • Beta Test completed Jul 98 and released in Sep 98 • V.7 Jun 03 is the latest release

  11. Contents of the “Web” • Quick links to various publications • AFI 13-203, AFI 13-204, AFI 13-218 • FAAO 7110.65 • MAJCOM Supplements/Websites • External links to AF, FAA, & AFFSA sites • Official source for AF MTTR • Future version will separate Tower from Radar • Over 100 regulations contained on disk

  12. Contents of the “Web” • Master Task and Technical References (MTTRs) • AF standardized • Tasks • Mirrors the CFETP STS • Identifies all AF technical references required to accomplish the task (broken down to lowest denominator with internal/external links to AF/FAA references)

  13. Contents of the “Web” • Master Reference Index • Comprehensive listing of AF mission essential documents • AF Instructions, FAA Orders, etc • Lists currency • Location (within CD, or external link) Thou shall “keep ‘em separated”

  14. How do we (you) do it? • AOF Web Program is written in HTML • Standard computer language • Compatible with all computers

  15. HQ-AFFSA’s Role • Maintain AF standardized MTTRs • Accomplish AF task breakdown (lowest denominator) for FAAO 7110.65, AFI 13-203, 13-204, 13-218, and ATCTSs • Maintain AF MRI • Maintain “hyperlinks” from AF identified TRs • Maintain distribution process • Establish AF policy and procedures for implementation and overall program use

  16. Training Managers’ Role • Explain how user’s access the program • Explain how paper products will be used in conjunction with the AOF Web • Provide guidance about documentation procedures (i.e., CFETP/AFJQS) • Ensure HHQ guidance is filtered downward • Serve as the focal point to answer questions/solve problems associated with the program

  17. Training Managers’ Role • Accomplish local task breakdown (lowest denominator) • Identify and embed local TR information into the AOF Web MTTR • OI’s, MAJCOM Supplements, QRC’s, RRF’s, OPLANs etc • Ensure local TRs are current according to the MRI • Identify facility management deferred task items

  18. AOF Web Program • Transition ATC & AM into the “computer age” • Create an all inclusive training reference aid • Standardize AF training (AF MTTR) • Ease the burden of the Training Managers • Consolidates training references - avoids duplication of effort • Easier to maintain current publications library

  19. Installation • Minimum requirements (Hardware) • Pentium 166 processor or higher • Computer monitor with a video resolution of 800 x 600 pixels • 2x CD-ROM • Recommended Hardware: • Multi-media kit (speakers and sound card) • 8x CD-ROM or higher

  20. Installation • Software Requirements • OS - MS Windows95 (or better) • Browser - MS IE 4.01 or Netscape 3.0 or higher • PDF Reader - Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 or higher • CBT Viewer - Power Point Animator • The Browser, PDF Reader, and CBT Viewer are all included on the AOF Web Program CD NOTE: Netscape is not recommended

  21. Installation Facilities / Offices Training AOF Web Web editor software ie Dreamweaver, MS FrontPage Web Administrator Training

  22. AOF Web Conclusion • The AOF Web Program is the first step for ATC and AM to “capture” and use the available technological advances • Growth of the program is inevitable but can only occur with input and support from all involved • Not intended to replace paper based study

  23. Future Projects - SIGNAL • SIGNAL (Simulated and Integration of Ground, Network and Air Links) • FAA developed RADAR simulation program (free) • PC based (only unit or MAJCOM funded computers required) • Intended as a “stop-gap” replacement of the ATCTD for units that have not obtained STARS/AT Coach • SIGNAL administrator class in development • 2 week TDY to ESC at Tinker • Awaiting final MOU with FAA

  24. Future Projects – Anti Hijack CBT • FAAO 7110.49E: Unlawful Interference – Hijack/Bomb (Threat) Aboard Aircraft – Procedures and Covert Signals • Updated pre-existing FAA order • Current AFI 13-207 ATC procedures are “loosely” base on previous version • ATC covert communications will change significantly • New CBT will reflect new covert communication procedures

  25. Recap • ATC Instructional Technology • Definitions • AOF Web • Who, What, Why and When • Future Projects • SIGNAL • Anti Hijack CBT
