7. Purpose of Proposed Project:

    Today Computer Based Training (CBT) is being written by a diverse number of parties using very diverse tools or authoring systems. Many of the CBT lessons being developed can complement and work well with other lessons developed in different locations with different tools by different people. There is a need to allow these complementary lessons to be brought together and used in a single course. However, this cannot be done without defining a standard set of CMI (Computer Managed Instruction) functions and a matching set of CBT functions.

    Additionally, there are reasons for courses to be moved from one environment - one CMI system - to another.

    And finally, there is a need to analyze student performance data accumulated in a lesson. A standard means of describing a student's performance can enable the analysis of diverse lessons, authored by different persons with different systems.

    For the above reasons, the purpose of this standard is to:

Explanation for 9(a.2): A copyright permission letter will be obtained from Aviation Industry CBT Committee (AICC) before the March, 1998 NESCom meeting.

Explanation for 9(c): While cross-cultural considerations need to be incorporated into this work, until the entire area has been developed further it is premature to consider how it might be moved into the international standards arena.
