Phase II Evaluation of the MODIA System.
Abstract
The MODIA system (Method Of Designing Instructional Alternatives) is a computerized planning tool initially designed by Rand Corporation for research purposes and subsequently examined in Air Training Command for use in facilitating course planning. The MODIA system was evaluated at Keesler Technical Training Center to determine its usefulness to branch, group, and center-level course managers. Additional objectives involved the assessment of changes needed to improve MODIA effectiveness, the feasibility of implementing MODIA at Keesler in the immediate future and the possibility of different management levels using various parts of the MODIA system separately. The results of the Phase II Evaluation were also compared with results obtained in a Phase I evaluation. Seven courses at Keesler were initially identified for simulation and costing using the MODIA system in the Phase II service test. Two groups of three courses each were to be planned under the family grouping concept to demonstrate sharing of technical training resources between related courses. An additional course was selected because of its length and number of resources. ISD personnel from Keesler Technical Training Groups provided a MODIA interface team with course data to input into the MODIA system. (Author)
