Background
•
Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) re-engineering Missile
Technicians (MT’s) 30+ week training pipeline:
–
Blended just-enough/just-in-time ILE-conformant content
–
Instructor Led (ILT) and Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) sections
–
Delivered, tracked, and assessed through LMS
–
Training via both afloat and ashore LMS’
•
AIM CPM and LO Module toolsets are part of SSP’s
baseline business process for this re-engineering
•
First major end-to-end design, development, and
maintenance project that’s defining CPM/LO Module
business rules and data exchange mechanisms

Project Status
•
•
Plan, Analyze & Design Phases Completed
–
Delivery Method Analysis Process still needed
–
Scientific/Justifiable/Repeatable
Development fully underway. Development effort is
progressing on schedule
–
•
Large emphases on Implementation, Evaluation and
Maintenance
–
•
Assessment, Performance Testing (NAVEDTRA 132)
Versioning, LMS interface
Ongoing integration of CPM/LO Module, IMI toolset, PC
simulation toolset, and LMS for planning, analysis, design,
development, implementation, evaluation, and
maintenance of blended content
MT Continuum
Technical & Schedule Integration
•
MTC development spans from the JDTA’s to the delivery and
maintenance of training and test assessment material to students
afloat and ashore
•
MTC Lead System Integrator (NUWC)
–
Coordinates technical and schedule activities between and
among developers, relative to the training and assessment
delivery and maintenance goals of the MTC

MT Continuum Integration Tasks
LMS Interfaces
– Interface specification with LO Module and VIPr (JHU APL)
– NUWC Newport lead with inputs from PPC (Chenega Logistics),
ISD/IMI developer (LSI), and AIM team (AIMEREON)
• Content Packaging Tool (CPT)
– Ongoing development by LSI with support from NUWC
Newport Seaware LMS team, PPC, and AIM team (AIMEREON)
• Classroom Control Software (CCS)
•
Learning Community Applicability
•
Based on NETC-mandated JDTA as fleet performance
requirement basis for learning content design and
development (NAVEDTRA 137)
•
Closely coordinated with NAVEDTRA 136 development
•
Hands-on production phase development of complete
LO Module ILT lessons/sections including versioning
•
Design of IMI lessons/sections as well as definition of
new JDTA/LO Module versioning concepts
•
Integration of PC Simulation toolset with LO Module
Learning Community Applicability
(contd)
•
Bi-directional interface between LO Module and IMI
toolset for integrated IMI / assessment development /
maintenance
•
Development of ILT and IMI test items and output to IMI
toolset for aggregation into LMS-delivered Lesson-level
assessments Sections, including enhanced performance
test item development
•
LMS delivery and tracking of integrated ILT / IMI /
assessment content
•
Integrated surveillance and maintenance environment
for blended (ILT/IMI/test item) SCORM NAVEDTRA 136compliant learning content
