Developing a Web-based Learning Site for U.S. Army Aviation Students: Lessons Learned

Abstract

Research determined that there were no supplemental study materials provided via electronic delivery (i.e., CD-ROM, web-based training, computer-based training, web sites) for Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) students in the Primary Division of the U.S. Army Flight School, Fort Rucker, Alabama. Informal surveys were conducted to gather information regarding implementation of electronic delivery. Survey results indicated a positive attitude and desire for electronic instructional media. Therefore, the main focus of this project was development of a web-based learning site that would directly support current instructional objectives of the Primary Division. This paper examines lessons learned during the developmental and implementation process.
