The Missile Technician Continuum (MTC) is a blended training approach designed to provide phased training to Missile Technicians onboard the Navy’s Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines. This approach provides training at the Operator, Technician, and Manager levels, delivering focused training throughout the MT’s career. The training consists of over 340 hours of Interactive Courseware, Instructor Led Training, and Laboratory Training. Virtual Training. Assessments are accomplished through computer-based posttests, hands-on performance assessments in the laboratory using training devices and simulators, and through interactive assessments in the virtual environment.
This training is initially designed in the Navy’s Authoring Instructional Materials (AIM) system, then exported into LSI’s courseware development engine. After the SCORM 2004 conformant interactive content is developed, it is imported back to the AIM system, providing enhanced surveillance and maintenance capabilities of the content for life cycle management. The content is staged in afloat and ashore Learning Management Systems (LMS) to support training delivery through the sailors’ at-sea patrol and shore duty assignment periods.
