CMI Subcommittee Bill McDonald, Alteon, Chairman Bill’s presentation provides an overview of all CMI activities. Steven Forth discussed the status of SDA. SDA is now a sort of subset of WISL. WISL is a hub where people can register their web services. PENS: Tom King described the current status of PENS. Tom and Bill discussed encumbrances of our specifications. It was concluded we should specify more clearly how we should publish our specs - both how we should encumber our own specifications and how we should respect the intellectual property of those other specifications that we use or extend or profile. New Test Suite: Next meeting we will discuss an architecture of building blocks for a test suite. Hopefully we can then get volunteers to build small blocks which when put together will become a comprehensive new test suite.
Training Technology Jean-Louis Bravo, Airbus Jean-Louis’ presentation discusses new technologies in courseware being developed by Airbus for the A380. He then discussed the Training Technology Subcommittee’s objectives and purposes. Finally, he provided some demonstrations or examples of new technologies: Animated smart graphics in SVG. OMS (Onboard Maintenance System) tutorial. OMS practice sessions.
Communications Tom King, Masie Fellow Tom’s presentation discusses the communications subcommittee duties and status. It also provides charts and graphs (many) describing AICC Web site revenues. Tom suggested meetings should have themes. For the St Louis meeting (Sep 2007) Tom suggested the theme of “Social Learning.” An informal poll of attendees showed that about ¾ of the members present felt this was a good idea - a topic of interest. It was also suggested that the theme should focus on the host. In what theme would the host be most interested? Steven Forth volunteered to help work on the AICC Web site. Ray Butler volunteered to work to support some communications activity. Eedo asked if the AICC should work on a version (or profile?) of CORDRA. Steven Forth suggested that CORDRA was not necessarily the best solution but the concept was a good one.
Metadata Jack Hyde, AICC Jack’s presentation describes the current status of the AICC Metadata profile of the IEEE LOM (Learning Object Metadata standard). The consensus of the attendees was that we should
Proposed Revision of the Training Development Checklist Neil Cramer, NWA Neil presented an addition to the checklist that would help an airline make a decision on selecting an LCMS.
Subcommittee Updates Neil Cramer, AICC Chairman Neil proposed the questions: Are our subcommittees the right ones? Do we need new or different subcommittees? What about focus? Does it need to he narrowed, expanded? Each subcommittee chair present made a presentation on their subcommittee. Tom King asked what current documents and activities are most valuable. Tom asked the attendees to break into small groups and form informal opinions of what is important. There was a general consensus that we need more information on member requirements and preferences. Surveys were suggested to both find out 1) how important committee activities are to the members and 2) what presentations at each meeting are the best at meeting the needs and desires of the members.
Executive Subcommittee At the executive subcommittee meeting it was decided to set up new billing and accounting procedures. It was also decided to set up bi-weekly teleconferences for the executive committee to monitor progress of this effort and discuss other initiatives. An Industry Affairs Subcommittee was created -- Ray Butler volunteered to chair this new subcommittee. A survey of member needs and preferences will be created for discussion in the first teleconference

6 June 07 Exploding the Myths Surrounding the Use of 3D Models in Maintenance Training Bruce Perrin, Boeing Bruce’s presentation covers information on studies that he has conducted that resulted in his conclusions. His studies compared Hardware-based training with various 3D interventions. Over a period of 7 years he had over 250 participants in several studies. This presentation shows several surprising results on the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of VR training vs. other modalities.
Bringing Info-Training and Edutainment On-Air and Into Airports: The Natacha and e-Cab Projects Giancarlo Bo, Giunti Labs Giancarlo's presentation describes two projects or studies done by Giunti Labs. The first study involved proving the feasibility of high speed internet and other ground-based information available via satellite in flight.

Update on the LETSI Initiative Tyde Richards, Eduworks LETSI is focused on the SCORM stewardship - who/how can SCORM be maintained in the future. Tyde's presentation describes what is happening in the effort. He suggested that MPEG 21.2 (ISO/IEC 21000-2:2005) may replace the existing IMS content packaging portion of SCORM. Jack Hyde suggested that the current LETSI approach perpetuates existing problems. Currently, early implementers of new specifications are abandoned when SCORM and standards organizations adopt new standards based on those specifications. Jack suggested that LETSI focus on not abandoning early adopters as it evolves the SCORM spec.
