|
 | Computer-aided authoring and editing are now feasible. This report describes elements of a computer-based publishing system which: creates training materials (presentations, exercises, and tests) containing both text and graphics from a limited data base, edits text for readability providing computer-generated suggestions to the author for simplifying the material, and generates camera-ready copy. The text stream and digitized graphics are used in each step above, so that they need only be ... |

|
 | This study examined whether it would be feasible to use an equipment-based approach to link training courses to ships and aircraft in the Fleet. The objectives of the study were to: (1) identify and examine the relevant data bases (CANTRAC, NITRAS, Zero Base Displays, and 3-M); (2) identify and examine equipment-related data elements contained in the relevant data bases to determine if they can be used to provide a link; ... |

|
| Authors:
J. Peter Kincaid; Eduardo Salas; Richard Braby; Jerry Martin; TRAINING ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION GROUP (NAVY) ORLANDO FL
|
 | The purpose of this study was to determine if Navy authors of instructional material could create effective memory aids for use in rote learning of material. A guidebook published by the Training Analysis and Evaluation Group was used in creating the memory aids. Navy school personnel used the guidebook to develop two training booklets incorporating memory aids. One booklet taught telephone codes for sound powered phones to sailors in Apprentice ... |

|
 | This report describes the development and test of a computer readability editing system to improve the ease of comprehending Navy technical manuals and training materials. The prototype editing system has features to (1) flag uncommon and misspelled words and long sentances, (2) suggest simple replacements for difficult words, and (3) calculate the readability grade level. Each feature is consistent with Navy specifications, and each has been thoroughly tested to verify ... |
