  1. Authoring Instructional Materials (AIM) Implementing AIM at Your Activity – A General Approach Based on Lessons Learned December 2008 Jake Aplanalp AIM/CPM Program Manager NAWCTSD Orlando 407.380.4685 Jacob.Aplanalp@Navy.mil

  2. Objective 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?

  3. 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)

  4. 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 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)

  5. Why should I Use AIM? (Continued) • AIM is a mature application & service provider supporting the development & sustainment of300,000+ instructional hours of formal Navy training content • Use of AIM has proven results, it supports efficient, cost effective development & maintenance of learning content

  6. 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 websiteit 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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)
