Characterization of Air Force Training and Computer-Based Training Systems
Abstract
This paper documents the approach used in the development of guidelines designed to aid novice training managers in the computer-based training (CBT) system planning, selection and implementation process. Phase I developed a list of critical factors that characterized Air Force training organizations and CBT technologies. These factors were developed at a level simple enough so misinterpretation by novice managers was minimized. Next, decision processes were merged with identified factors forming guidelines that followed an input-process-output model. These preliminary guidelines were field- tested during Phase II at four Air Force training organizations. Concurrent with field-testing, the guidelines were validated by convening a panel of Air Force CBT 'experts' to critique the guidelines and compare their CBT development processes with those of the guidelines. Following these efforts, the guidelines were revised and refined.
