Focus of Presentation
• AIM Background & History
• AIM & Navy Content Development Standards
• AIM Software Status
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 130B/131B, NAVEDTRA 136/ILE)
resulting in efficient, cost-effective development & maintenance of learning content
• Links learning requirements to work definition based on NETC Job Duty Task Analysis (JDTA)
standard per NAVEDTRA 137
• 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- “Concurrency Management”
• 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 250,000+ instructional hours of formal Navy training content

AIM & Navy Training Standards
• AIM follows ISD rules of the PADDIE model
• AIM Toolset continues to support traditional NAVEDTRA
130B/131B policy & requirements
• AIM Team working closely with NETC N74 to support new
policy changes:
– Reusable Learning Object content development rules per NAVEDTRA 136
Standard
– New JDTA methodology (NAVEDTRA 137) for defining work as the basis
for training requirements and learning content structure
• AIM outputs:

MT Continuum Prototype Project
• Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) re-engineering 30+ week training
pipeline for TRIDENT Ballistic Submarine (SSBN) Missile Techs (MTs) into
blended just-enough/just-in-time ILE-conformant Instructor Led (ILT)
and self-paced segments
• AIM CPM and LO Module toolsets part of SSP’s baseline business
process for this re-engineering
• First major end-to-end design, development, and maintenance project
that’s validating and extending CPM/LO Module business rules and data
exchange mechanisms
• MT Continuum team:
–

AIM Summary
• History of AIM
– Consistent success in past, updated over time, now extending
to blended learning
– Leveraging historical ROI and TOC reduction
• One GOTS toolset supporting:
– Traditional content development/maintenance
• NAVEDTRA 130B/131B
– Migration of traditional to new content standards
• NAVEDTRA 136/137
– New development/support of blended learning
• ILT & self-paced
AIM Summary
(contd)
• Fills gaps in current Navy Training Environment:
–
–
–
–
ILT toolset supporting emerging NAVEDTRA 136 standard
JDTA links to learning content
Future linkage between JDTA & Navy OCCSTDs
Integrated JDTA-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
• AIM toolset is filling those gaps as demonstrated by
MT Continuum prototype project and NETC ETMF
