Demos, Questions
Authoring Instructional Materials (AIM):
• Government-owned & managed system used by the Navy to design, develop,
update, manage, and integrate training content
• Provides automated conformance to standards (NAVEDTRA 130A/131A, ILE, &
RIT II) resulting in efficient, cost effective development & maintenance of learning
content
• 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)
AIM is a mature application & service provider supporting the development &
sustainment of 300,000+ instructional hours of formal Navy training content
