1 System for Administration, Training, and Educational Resources for NASA Online Content Overview

2 Agenda  Lesson 1: Overview of Online Learning  Lesson 2: Configuring Items with Online Content

3 Lesson 1 Overview of Online Learning

4 Lesson Objectives  Describe examples of online learning  Define online content management terminology  Explain the purpose of SCORM and AICC launch methods  List steps to set up online content

Online Learning  Self-paced training such as a slide show presentation, audio/video presentation, document  Training content that learners launch from SATERN (HTML pages, Flash movies, Microsoft Word documents, etc.)  Online content can be launched directly from Learning Plan  Online content can consist of scheduled items, tests, online courses, surveys 5

6 Content Objects  Building blocks of online content  Specify the storage location of the content as a file path or URL address  Determines the launch method of communication with SATERN  Content objects can be grouped into Content Packages

7 Launch Methods  AICC – Aviation Industry CBT Committee  SCORM – Sharable Content Object Reference Module SCORM 1.2 SCORM 2004  Browser

8 Process for Implementing an Online Course 1.Course developer creates the content 2.Advanced SATERN admin responsible for creating content and setting up content objects perform these steps: a.Upload/copy content to the SATERN content server - NSSC. b.Identify the content type and its location (such as AICC stored on c.Set up content objects in SATERN. 3.Admin creates an item to be associated with one or more content objects. Steps to perform in the next lesson: a.Add an item in SATERN. b.Associate content object (s) with the item – details are stored in the Online Settings tab. c.Add the item to a catalog and/or assign the item to users. d.Test the online item from the SATERN user side.

Lab 1 Create an Online Item 15

Lab 2 Test the Online Item 16

Checking Online Status 17

Lab 3 View Learner’s Online Status 18

Modifying an Item with Online Content 19

Deactivation of Agency Mandatory Courses  Agency mandatory courses (e.g., No Fear) are often automatically assigned to new hires by Centers.  If a course is deactivated, learners are unable to access the course.  Therefore, the following business rule ensures that Center Administrators receive a communication before the course is deactivated.  When a course owner decides to inactivate an Agency mandatory online course within SATERN, follow the required process, unless a deviation is agreed upon by the SATERN Executive Committee (EC) and course owner. 20

Document Repository  Some course owners use SATERN as a document repository to place commonly used documentation in a centralized place  Documentation does not require a certificate and is purely for informational purposes  Setting up these documents like online content allows learners to more easily find and access them  NASA Business Rule 21

Online Resources  SkillSoft and Books 24x7 are available at anytime, so they can be accessed at the employees' convenience at work or at home.  What is SkillSoft?  What resources are available within SkillSoft?  What are some of the SATERN SkillSoft Benefits?  What is Books 24x7?  Where do I find the online books and courses? 22

NASA SATERN Content Development Team Website  Located at: ervice/menuitem.033f f471d9beb9e2b c/  The site includes resources, such as, References, Forms, Tools, and FAQs. 23

Lesson Wrap-Up  Identified available settings for online items  Created an item with online content  Tested the content on the learner side  Checked online status for content that is in progress  Deactivated Agency mandatory courses  Used SATERN as a document repository 24

Reports for Online Content  Exam Item Analysis  Online Item Status  Score Summary 25
