Abstract

A learning content management method includes categorizing a curriculum into one or more curriculum areas, performing a content analysis on each of the one or more curriculum areas to identify system, subsystem and component areas of each of the one or more curriculum areas, performing a task analysis on each system, subsystem and component area identified by the content analysis, and developing terminal and enabling objectives. A media can be selected to deliver the generated training program.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

(a) categorizing a curriculum into one or more curriculum areas and sub-areas;

(b) performing a content analysis on each of the one or more curriculum areas to identify system, subsystem and component areas of each of the one or more curriculum areas;

(c) performing a task analysis on each system, subsystem and component area identified by the content analysis; and

(d) developing terminal and enabling objectives.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying the terminal and enabling objectives to generate a training lesson.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising assigning a media to deliver the training lesson to an end user.

4. The method of claim 3, further including assigning the media to one or more media delivery options.

5. The method of claim 1, further including performing a performance gap analysis.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the performance gap analysis includes one or more of frequency of performance, degree of difficulty to perform, degree of difficulty to perform, and importance to objectives.

7. The method according to claim 1, further including generating a master course component objectives table (MCCOT) including metatag data, system modules, task analysis, performance gap analysis, objectives, and media selection.

8. A learning content mangement system, comprising:

a processing engine; and

a database coupled to the processing engine, the database including

a meta-data tagging schema for implementing a meta-data tagging scheme;

a master system module element for defining one or more master system modules;

a course objectives element; and

a media selection element.

9. The system of claim 8 further comprising:

a performance gap analysis data element; and

a media scope data element;

10. The system of claim 9 further comprising:

a performance and performance resources field;

a certification test item field a test item field; and

an evaluation field.

11. The system according to claim 8, further including a media selection module to select a delivery media.

12. The system according to claim 8, further including an analysis module to analyze content areas from a curriculum.

13. A method for establishing a training system for a learner, the method comprising:

identifying a set of components within the training system;

performing a content task analysis on each of the identified set of components, wherein the content task analysis identifies one or more training procedures for a learner in a training situation; and

defining a set of learner tasks for each of the one or more training procedures.
