Abstract:

This research aimed to develop and apply systematic principles for the development of effective Interactive Multimedia Instruction IMI that can be broadly applied to Army courses and to build and evaluate exemplar IMI for an Army Advanced Individual Training AIT course. This research developed exemplar IMI for Unmanned Aircraft System UAS Repairer course material that is consistent with those principles. This research compared the effectiveness of IMI against the current live instruction for UAS Repairer course material and also compared the effectiveness of two different IMI design approaches used to progress the learner through the various training modulesone IMI that is controlled by the learners freedom to choose the order of modules and the other IMI that is controlled by the designers in a lock-step manner. Results indicate that using IMI for initial training is an effective alternative to live training for the MOS 15E UAS Repairer AIT.
