AIM-IETM Interface
15 March 2012
The Problem
• No cost-effective method for responsively
keeping learning content current with changes
to authoritative technical data
– AIM solved for paper and 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 Web-based
training as instructor surveillance efforts are
removed
– Must address emerging S1000D standard adopted by
DoD / Navy
Functional Requirement
• Support design and development of learning
content tied to performance requirements
• Streamline 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
content
Design and Development
• Technical and procedural documents are primary
authoritative data source for technical training
content
• For ILT, developer must associate technical /
procedural documents to learning content for
display in classroom
• For self-paced training, developer must include
pertinent data and associate tech / procedural
document to learning content for computer display
and student interaction
QA Review, Approval, and CM
• QA must confirm associations made with
and data copied from technical / procedural
documents accurate and current
• Approval authority must ensure complete
and accurate learning content in place
• Content manager must ensure approved
content is prepared by instructors and
taught in classrooms / delivered by LMS
Instructor Preparation / Delivery
• As part of preparation, instructor must
confirm hundreds of links to technical /
procedural documents and prepare to present
documents in classroom
• During presentation, instructor must quickly
display authoritative documents to students
• For self-paced content, students must launch
technical / procedural documents for
reference and interaction
Life-cycle Surveillance / Update
• Curriculum maintainer must re-confirm
accuracy of all links in baseline learning
content to technical / procedural documents
each time document is updated
• Based on that analysis, maintainer must
generate change / rev to learning content to
ensure it remains current and accurate
Overview of
Operational
IETM/AIM Interface
Benefits
• Integrated, standardized, configurationmanaged development, QA, and
management of baseline curricula and
electronic classroom content
• Reduced workload, better accuracy, and
faster turnaround for schoolhouse LSO and
instructor staff
• Reduced workload, better accuracy, and
faster turnaround of training content
surveillance and update
A Few Metrics . . .
• A single 23-week replacement course on-line
today contains more than 1500 separate
links to more than 5 separate technical /
procedural manuals
• All tech / procedural manuals updated
quarterly
• @ 2 minutes per link, review for possible
changes during curriculum maintenance
would take 50 person-hrs per quarter

Technical Process
for IETM Interface
Interface Process
•
EXTRACT structural data (“table of contents”) from IETM
database
•
IMPORT structural data into AIM
•
BROWSE IETM 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

Change Impact Report
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 at Element Level:
Alphanumeric value used by individual IETM
element to identify change level for that
particular element (when element was added
or modified)
