AIM Toolset Interfaces with Authoritative Technical Data Jim Ferrall, AIM Team Jeff Clem, LM for ADL CoLab/Wayne Gafford 24 August 2011
Overview • Current AIM-to-IETM interfaces, including S1000D Issue 3 • ADL CoLab S1000D Issue 4 Reduction of Total Ownership Cost (RTOC) Bridge Project
The Problem • No cost-effective method for responsively keeping learning content current with changes to authoritative digital technical data • AIM solved for 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 self-paced training as inherent instructor surveillance efforts during personalization and presentation are removed • Must address emerging S1000D standard adopted by DoD / Navy, at least through Issue 3
Functional Requirement • Support design and development of learning content tied to authoritative technical and procedural data • Streamline learning content 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 learning content
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: Alphanumeric value used by individual IETM element to identify change level for that particular element (when element was added or modified)
IETM Interface Process • EXTRACT structural data (“table of contents”) from IETM database • IMPORT structural data into AIM • BROWSEIETM 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
Current S1000D Projects • E-2D: • S1000D Issue 3 • Sponsor: NAVAIR (PMA-231 – Dwayne Cole/coordinated by NAVAIR S1000D evangelist Bob Sharrer) • AIM II curricula in production use by E-2D Hawkeye upgrade program for delivery to CNATT • S1000D-SCORM RTOC API Bridge • S1000D Issue 4.0 interface with CPM • Sponsor: ADL CoLab (Wayne Gafford) • AIM team participated in RTOC Year 1 and now in RTOC Year 2 due for delivery in September 2011
E-2D Program Interface • S1000D Issue 3 • Tech data created by Northrop Grumman in InMedius CSDB and exported to Contenta CSDB for life-cycle management and delivery • Final XML tech data product published from Contenta and distributed to all users for viewing via NAVAIR Standard IETM Viewer (NSIV) • AIM II interface with published XML data for initial development/life-cycle surveillance / maint of learning content – will not interface directly with Contenta CSDB
E-2D Program Interface(S1000D Issue 3) Narrated Demo
RTOC Year 1 (FY09) • S1000D Issue 4.0 • Tech data created in several S1000D Issue 4-compliant CSDBs • Modernized AIM interfaces directly with CSDB(s) via open API / Web services being designed and developed as part of this project • Learning content developed and updated in AIM to be passed to CSDB(s) for integration with tech data • CSDB output published in SCORM-compliant format for use with variety of e-learning delivery systems including SCORM-compliant LMSs Narrated video demo
RTOC Year 2 (FY10) • Build on Year 1 prototype efforts • Add LSI and their CBT toolset to the RTOC team • Focus on adapting CPM to output front-end design data to CSDB as SCORM Content Package Module (SCPM) • LSI authoring tool plays primary role in building out learning content as S1000D Issue 4.x learning data modules (LDMs) based on SCPM generated by CPM and passed by CSDB • Final content package stored in CSDB and output for use with LMS
