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)
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

AIM & Navy Training Standards
• AIM follows ISD rules of the PADDIE model
• AIM I built on NAVEDTRA 131A Personnel Performance Profile
(PPP) based curriculum model
• AIM II built on NAVEDTRA 130A Task based curriculum model
• Traditional AIM links content to CTTL / PPP tables
• AIM continues support for traditional 130/131 content formats as
well as ILE content rules per evolving NETC & Navy Standards
• AIM outputs
Printable Material (PDF), SCORM-compliant XML Files (LMS, electronic
classrooms, repositories), CeTARS CMS Web service, & Database export
for use in other AIM systems or content authoring tools
Why Modernized AIM?
Modernized AIM Can Tie This Entire Content Lifecycle Process Together!

AIM Considerations
• History of AIM – consistent success in past, updated over time, now
extending to ILE-based learning – leveraging historical ROI and TOC
reduction
• One GOTS tool supporting:
– Traditional content development/maintenance
– Migration of traditional to new (ILE)
– New development (ILE)
• Gaps in current Navy Training Environment:
– ILT in ILE suite
– JTI/NJA/NLOS links to learning content
– Integrated, performance-based design, development, and maintenance of
both ILT and self-paced learning content
– Automated surveillance capability to drive down significant total
ownership cost of learning content
• Modernized AIM can fill those gaps
Summary
• What can AIM do for Centers/SYSCOMS?
– Leverage historical strengths in standardized
content design, development, surveillance,
maintenance, production, management, and user
support
– Be used for Traditional (130/131) & Future (ILEbased) training content
– Provide strong support for RIT II themes – especially
“Tie Learning to Navy Work” & “Navy Learning
Continuums”
– Leverage AIM team, contract, and user community
infrastructure that is in place to support users
Summary (Continued)
• What AIM program needs from
Centers/SYSCOMS?
– Active AIM Users:
• Participate in the FRB and supporting IPTs
• Provide input to improve the toolset
– Non-AIM users:
• Try AIM on a small scale (traditional/modernized)
– Get training and assistance to support trial efforts
