Training Media Analysis:
-
Help determine the best method to present the training, such as
formal instructor-led or computer-based, self-paced
instruction.
-
Identify optimal training media to deploy to enhance student
subject matter cognition (i.e. interactive multimedia instruction,
training devices, simulators and/or actual equipment).
Training Plans Design and Development:
-
Identify target audiences and their sizes.
-
Determine courses to be taught and the required number of
iterations for each course.
-
Determine training locations (unit, institutional, or
contractor/vendor locations).
-
Identify training resource requirements (training personnel,
equipment, facilities, materials, simulation and training
devices).
-
Conduct training analysis utilizing the Army's Systems Approach
to Training (SAT).
-
Draft training documentation plans and reports; perform cost
comparison; and analyze training plans, methods and strategies.
Courseware Design:
-
Provide direction on appropriate testing methods for evaluating
training effectiveness.
-
Ensure sequential and progressive training.
-
Identify course structure such as lessons, practical exercises
and examinations.
-
Determine proper training sequences and course lengths.
-
Document student attendance and performance.
-
Identify course graduation and certification requirements.
-
Analyze student examinations and course critiques to identify
and correct courseware deficiencies.
Training Devices and Simulators:
-
Monitor training devices and simulators development and
construction and manage employment and sustainment.
-
Develop Statements of Work, Test Plans, Fault Lists, Acceptance
Plans, Critical Individual Task List, Fidelity Matrix and Life
Cycle Management Plans.
-
Ensure training devices/simulators support the target audience
and cover critical training tasks.
-
Participate in technical data exchange and interface meetings
with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM).
-
Ensure simulation modifications and software upgrades match
fielded system upgrades and modifications.
-
Orchestrate and conduct hands-on validation of associated
technical data.
-
Evaluate OEM proposals for completeness, compliance and "should
cost."
-
Perform training site and facilities surveys.
-
Ensure interoperability and configuration congruence between
training systems/simulators and fielded systems.
Classroom, Simulation and Multimedia
Instruction:
-
Train the Trainers.
-
Develop training materials for Maintenance Test Pilot Course
(MTP), Advanced Qualification and Instructor Pilot Courseware
(AQC).
-
Develop, test and integrate Geo-Specific database suites of
varied topography designed to provide accurate training and virtual
environments.
Multimedia Instruction and Computer Based
Instruction:
-
Perform software analysis related to production and development
of Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) and training.
-
Develop recommendations and provide technical expertise for
developing, designing, and distributing IMI and other courseware
directly to the field via the Internet.
-
Provide validation of multimedia-training materials such as
interactive CD-ROM, computer-aided instruction (CAI) and operating
environment and cockpit simulations.
Lifecycle Training:
-
Identify any new tasks or changes to existing tasks and the
target audiences impacted.
-
Determine if new training is required or if an off-the-shelf or
non-training solution is appropriate.
-
Determine and evolve the optimal training solution to support
target audience needs.
-
Identify critical training tasks using the
Difficulty-Importance-Frequency (DIF) task selection model.
-
Determine task performance requirements (i.e. Action, Condition
and Standard).
