Can someone learn to maintain an aircraft in a virtual world, or is &amp;ldquo;getting your hands dirty&amp;rdquo; a necessary part of the learning process? Or, how do you feel about the claim that the younger generation &amp;ldquo;learns differently&amp;rdquo; than the baby boomers? These are two of the issues on which the AICC seeks your feedback and opinion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, one source of information on questions such as these is findings from training research. So, part of our survey addresses the training evaluation processes and approaches that you use, as well as the technologies and interventions you have studied.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With only 11 questions, this survey is one you can probably complete over your coffee break. But if you try to complete it by getting consensus from a group of your training experts, it may take quite a bit longer!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As always, the AICC appreciates your help in this survey on training evaluation approaches and technology trends and issues. Group summary results will be available on the AICC website in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take the survey:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.questionmark.com/go/aicctrends" title="AICC Survey on Training Evaluation and Technology Trends"&gt;http://www.questionmark.com/go/aicctrends&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;News from the AICC - Aviation Industry CBT Committee (http://www.aicc.org)&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aicc.org/blog/2008/05/aicc-survey-on-training-evaluation-and.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AICC Communications Chair)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17293502.post-3348793868618607770</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2008 05:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-05-08T22:24:37.803-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>meeting information</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>notices</category><title>Updated Agenda: AICC June 16-19, 2008 in Hamburg</title><description>&lt;p&gt;An &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;updated&lt;/u&gt; draft agenda&lt;/i&gt; is now available from the &lt;a href="http://www.aicc.org/pages/aicc4.htm" title="AICC Meeting Information"&gt;AICC Meeting Information page&lt;/a&gt;.

AICC Guidelines and Recommendations (AGRs) represent the official voice of the AICC with respect to a designated area. All AGRs, including AGR-011 for PENS, have been formally voted upon and approved by the general voting membership of the AICC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AICC expresses special thanks to Marc Van Coillie of &lt;a href="http://www.eife-l.org/" title="European Institute for E-Learning"&gt;EIfEL&lt;/a&gt;, and Bernard Bouyt and Jean-Louis Bravo of Airbus for their gracious volunteer efforts to translate this document. The PENS AGR summarizes the protocol and provides a rationale for advocating its use. Availability of this document "en francais" will help the shared efforts of the AICC and the European Institute for E-Learning to support interoperability demonstrations at &lt;a href="http://www.ilearnforum.eu/" title="iLearning Forum 2008: EIfEL"&gt;iLearning Forum 2008&lt;/a&gt; in Paris.&lt;/p&gt;

Participation in the CSA work group is open to any organization wishing to join. Note that membership is by company/organization and not by individual.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CSA will specify web services that facilitate integration of hosted content, data and content catalog synchronization between publisher (Content Management) and content consumer systems such as a LMS (learning management system). CSA web services will also support a variety of access control and commerce models to integrate content-as-a-service and LMS-as-a-service capabilities. With CSA specifications, content on different internet domains can work seamlessly with a Learning Management System (LMS) in a different internet domain through web services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The success of this forward-looking initiative depends on strong participation from the elearning community and the AICC greatly needs your help. If you are a LMS (Learning Management System) vendor, CMS (Content Management System) vendor, content creation tool vendor, or an organization that is a content consumer you are encouraged to get involved. Much preliminary work has been done and preliminary input is already being gathered for initial draft documents. The AICC also hosts a &lt;a href="http://www.aicc.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=CMIXML" title="AICC Forum: Content Services Architecture"&gt;CSA Discussion Forum online&lt;/a&gt; as a point for collaboration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please contact the AICC at &lt;a href="mailto:CSA@aicc.org?subject=CSA%20Call%20for%20Participation"&gt;CSA@aicc.org&lt;/a&gt; if your organization is interested in joining our team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;News from the AICC - Aviation Industry CBT Committee (http://www.aicc.org)&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aicc.org/blog/2007/10/call-for-participation-new-csa.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AICC Communications Chair)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17293502.post-2220536120806382556</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-25T17:25:26.769-08:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>LETSI</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>ADL</category><title>AICC and ADL Announce Plans for Collaboration</title><description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.adlnet.gov" title="Advanced Distributed Learning Homepage"&gt;ADL&lt;/a&gt; initiative and the &lt;a href="http://www.aicc.org" title="Aviation Industry CBT Committee"&gt;AICC&lt;/a&gt; announced their plans to collaborate on several near-term and longer term projects. This collaboration was launched at a joint meeting during the Boeing-hosted AICC conference the week of September 24th 2007. A press release with complete details is now available from the AICC at &lt;a href="http://www.aicc.org/pages/press-release-42.htm" title="AICC Press Release: AICC and ADL Announce Plans for Collaboration"&gt;http://www.aicc.org/pages/press-release-42.htm&lt;/a&gt; and the ADL at &lt;a href="http://www.adlnet.gov/News/articles/index.aspx?ID=450" title="ADL News &amp;amp; Events: AICC and ADL Announce Plans for Collaboration"&gt;http://www.adlnet.gov/News/articles/index.aspx?ID=450&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The purpose of the collaboration is to assist the aerospace and defense learning community by providing guidelines which promote the economic and effective implementation of technology-supported learning, education, and training. Benefits for the learning community will be achieved by promoting interoperability standards that software vendors can use across multiple industries (not limited to aerospace &amp;amp; defense).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both organizations have committed to collaborating with other organizations involved with various learning communities. The collaborative activities will be coordinated with &lt;a href="http://www.letsi.org" title="LETSI Wiki (under development)"&gt;LETSI&lt;/a&gt; – an international federation promoting Learning Education and Training Systems Interoperability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;News from the AICC - Aviation Industry CBT Committee (http://www.aicc.org)&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aicc.org/blog/2007/10/aicc-and-adl-announce-plans-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AICC Communications Chair)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17293502.post-5498644386076410053</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Oct 2007 11:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-08T09:42:51.047-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>notices</category><title>The Passing of Philip Dodds</title><description>&lt;p&gt;We are greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Philip Dodds, one of our most significant contributors to the world of learning technology.

His vision and leadership can not be forgotten and his legacy will live on, reflected and shining each time a learner logs on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those of us carrying forward, we hope only that we can do justice to Philip's legacy.

Please help me recognize and celebrate his accomplishments and the lives he continues to touch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I tried to write this yesterday and just couldn't. I truly believe the elearning community would not have &lt;a href="http://www.adlnet.gov/scorm" title="ADL SCORM"&gt;SCORM&lt;/a&gt; as it is today without Philip's contributions as a visionary thinker, organizer, architect and evangelist. He was a man of art and a man of science. He loved technology, yet took great pride and active participation in true and faithful &lt;a href="http://www.pleasantplainsfarm.com/" title="Pleasant Plains Farm Project"&gt;restorations to his historic home&lt;/a&gt;. He was drawing electronic circuits on blackboards at an early age, did R&amp;amp;D at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_Instruments%2C_Inc." title="Wikipedia: ARP Instruments Inc."&gt;ARP Instruments&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurzweil_Music_Systems" title="Wikipedia: Kurzweil Music Systems"&gt;Kurzweil Music&lt;/a&gt;, and led the charge to make CD-ROMs and sound cards a standard part of personal computers through his efforts with &lt;a href="http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/audio/dvi/" title="Interactive Multimedia Association"&gt;IMA&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_PC" title="Wikipedia: MPC / Multimedia PC"&gt;MPC "Multimedia PC"&lt;/a&gt; standards efforts in the late 80's and early 90's.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'd encourage you to learn more about him &lt;i&gt;real soon now&lt;/i&gt;, courtesy of a page available through the &lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20030321033727/www.rhassociates.com/background.htm" title="Internet Archive: Background of Philip V.W. Dodds"&gt;Internet Archive Wayback Machine&lt;/a&gt;. Meantime, here is what Elliott Masie had to share about Philip in a message to the Learning Consortium:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"What are we saying to each other?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;That was a single line, spoken by the sound engineer at the end of Close Encounters of a Third Kind, as he played chords and a friendly alien spaceship played music back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The role was played by a young sound engineer who was spotted by Steven Spielberg and given the on-screen role to be the interface between these two worlds. That man, Philip Dodds, was still young and inventing, as he passed this Saturday morning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philip Dodds was the Chief Architect of SCORM and the force behind sharable and reusable content. He was deeply involved in the evolution of interactive multimedia and expanding the possibilities for learning via technology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you use a Learning Management System, author an interactive learning module or talk about the future of Web 2.0, take a moment to thank a man who you probably never met. Philip's work was KEY and CRITICAL to the exciting world of learning, knowledge management and collaboration that we take for granted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philip's dreams were to create a global set of standards and specifications that would allow content to be searchable, reusable and expandable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philip, we thank you for all that you have done and we'll keep asking that question: "What are we saying to each other?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With respect and sadness,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Elliott Masie&lt;/p&gt;P.S. wikipedia reference at: &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Dodds" title="Wikipedia: Philip Dodds"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Dodds&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;News from the AICC - Aviation Industry CBT Committee (http://www.aicc.org)&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aicc.org/blog/2007/10/passing-of-phillip-vw-dodds.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tom King)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17293502.post-6156116668900403138</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Oct 2007 17:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-05-17T21:16:31.666-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Survey</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>cbt</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Authorware</category><title>Last Call for Input: Authorware Survey</title><description>&lt;p&gt;The AICC will select final questions for the Authorware impact survey on &lt;b&gt;Tuesday October 9, 2007&lt;/b&gt;.
