Abstract

This report provides an introduction to Technical Hands-On Training Systems (THOTS) packets, an instructional system comprised of individualized packets which lead the student through learning and troubleshooting problems on training equipment in a logical manner utilizing maintenance documentation. THOTS is essentially a threefold concept of training designed to include the following components: (1) individualized, self-paced learning, (2) maintenance manual utilization, and (3) hands-on training operation and maintenance activities on training equipment. This report presents the background of the program's initiation and development, points out some advantages and disadvantages, describes the steps involved in developing THOTS packets, and provides a description of the Data Item Description used to procure THOTS Training Programs.
