The Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) Product was designed for the Naval Submarine School to eliminate the need for actual tactical equipment labs in the training of Combat Control System (CCS) maintenance technicians. This project encompassed the development of 40 IMI Modules emulating hardware and software functions of 12 equipment cabinets and software programs for equipment operation, diagnostics, preventive maintenance (PMS), troubleshooting, repair and Practical Examinations. |

The IMI launches the trainee to a CCS Central System Navigation area used as the principal training interface. |
Trainees select an equipment cabinet, which dynamically loads a Flash media file. This allows inexpensive development of new emulated hardware cabinets. |
|
|
Virtual tools enable quality training, including test equipment, stopwatch, flashlight and required hand tools. |
Full emulation of customer software functionality is provided in the IMI for 6 different Unix, Linux and Windows applications specific to the training tasks. |
|
|
Interactive content and training sequences are separated from the delivery / viewing mechanisms, dynamically loaded as XML and multimedia files. |
Learning Management System, Technical Manuals (IETMs) and Compiled Help interfaces were designed into the IMI to enhance training value. |
