EDTC 3332 Instructional Technology Practicum

In the Maintenance Planning department of ExpressJet Airlines it is management’s desire for the planners to become unified in complying with daily tasks, instead of performing duties to their personal liking, which may not be in compliance with the Standard Operating Procedures – SOP and General Maintenance Manuals – GMM, as well as new departmental procedures.

Presently there is no training material that attend to the maintenance planners daily task and job duties

The training module will contain activities and a final quiz to identify and correct the issues that may be a result of old behaviors.

Once finished with the module, planners will be unified in planning aircrafts components.

After successfully completing training, planners

will arrange, highlight and accurately title aircraft components.

Upon completion of the training session; planners will be able to:

Given a mock aircraft 60 day report (CN), the planner will illustrate component highlighting (B), with no assistance (CR).

Presented with item grouping scenarios (CN), the planner will arrange aircraft components (B), without error (CR).

Provided with aircraft package illustrations (CN), the planner will update software and data information (B), with no error (CR).

Performance Objective Assessment1. Given a mock aircraft 60 day report (CN),

the planner will demonstrate component highlighting (B), with no assistance (CR).

2. Presented with item grouping scenarios (CN), the planner will arrange aircraft components (B), with 100% accuracy (CR).

3. Provided with aircraft package illustration (CN), the planner will classify software and data information (B), with no error (CR).

Confirm comprehension: Planners will complete an online “Memory Recall” activity. Assess mastery with a final quiz on SoftChalk.

Confirm comprehension: Planners will complete an online “Drag and Drop” activity. Assess mastery with a final quiz on SoftChalk.

Confirm comprehension: Planners will complete an online “Identify” activity. Assess mastery with a final quiz on SoftChalk.

My target audience are:

Multicultural group of male and female Maintenance Planning personnel

All planners are familiar with airline operation terminology as well as the atmosphere.

Everyone is computer literate and familiar with the software used for daily tasks and duties.

Ages vary from early 30’s to late 40’s

The planners will be able to complete the module individually, either at work or home.

Reference material will be administered for planners to utilize as they complete the module.

Training is only available online, planners will have to use a personal computer or laptop.

They will need internet capabilities in order to view and complete the module.

In order to view the module all planners will need: They will receive reference material which will be reproduced by ExpressJet.

8. Flight hours are the same as APU hours?9. While doing your component grouping for

ALPS, it is best to combine a day control item that drops on the same day as an hourly item?

10.Under normal condition, should day controls be a package driver? Why or why not?

11.The package headings in ALPS are determined by ________ and ____________.

The tutorial will be evaluated by the following: Subject Matter Expert:

All training material will be reviewed and approved by Maintenance Planning management. Selected senior planners will interact with the module and report in detail: ◦ Course accuracy ◦ Content◦ Organization◦ Strengths and weakness

Peer Evaluation: Included with the reference material will be a form. The form will ask the planners what they would like to see going forward. A space will be provided for personal notations and an email address encouraging further contact with suggestions and additional training ideas or improvements.

The module will be an occupational in addition to an educational component for the Maintenance Planner position. I have identified a set of assessable as well as attainable learning objectives for ExpressJet Airlines Maintenance Planning department. This module will strengthen planner’s weakness and build upon their current foundations to create a new and productive learning experience
