ARPA Authoring System

Abstract

A review is presented of the project to develop and field test the ARPA Authoring System for use by subject-matter experts in the preparation of task training in on-the-job environments. Materials were prepared according to the ARPA Authoring System procedures, and both preparation and delivery were on the facilities of the Lincoln Terminal System. An analysis of the lesson production rates for 30 lessons prepared by Air Force personnel revealed no systematic effects related to individual author, authoring experience, or lesson type. Preliminary results from a field test of the materials indicate that the lessons are sound. Large savings were found in the time trainees require to reach job qualification and in the amount of labor that subject-matter experts must dedicate to training duties.
