Description
The Air National Guard Bureau Office of Airspace and Ranges (ANG/DOBA) has requested from Air Command and Staff College that training be developed to train Air National Guard air to ground Range Officers in night vision goggle use. This project fulfills that request. It is a computer based training product that was authored in Macromedia Authorware version 4.0 software. It is a fully interactive computer program that incorporates a wide range of graphics, video, sound, and animation to allow interactivity between the program interface and the learner. It was designed using sound instructional design principles and a complete task analysis, objective development, and instructional strategies were developed. Full sets of storyboards were developed using an original storyboard format and were created in Microsoft Access software. A custom installation program was also used, and the installation of the program, along with user hardware system requirements meets the Air National Guard Bureau request. The computer based training also has an evaluation instrument, and automatically writes user results to a tracking database. This fulfills the night vision goggle academic training certification process. Future applications of this product can be conversion to web based training, and the project includes a web based training prototype.
