Abstract

This Research Report provides an evaluation plan to assess the Automated Instructional Management System (AIMS). The AIMS is a computer-based resource and training management system which has been procured by the Training and Doctrine Command to support its service schools and Army Training Centers. Capabilities of the AIMS include: student tracking, resource scheduling, test generation and scoring, computer-managed instruction, graduation prediction, and report generation. The evaluation plan provides for an examination of the AIMS hardware, software, courseware, training management capabilities, training effectiveness, costs, and organizational factors influencing its implementation.
