A Methodology for Analyzing Automated Electronic Classroom (AEC) Options and Conversion Decisions

Abstract

In this study, we explored ways to quantify the costs and benefits of infusing technology into formal Navy schoolhouse training. At the outset, we worked with the Navy sponsor (N75) to identify a set of high interest and potential technologies - Automated Electronic Classroom (AEC) and Video Teletraining (VTT) - to pursue as a first order of business. This report discusses our analysis and findings concerning the use of AEC technology in Navy training, A separate CNA report addresses our findings with respect to the VTT technology. In keeping with the study tasking, we approached the AEC conversion question as a return-on-investment problem.
