3.6Part 5: Training material change data.Training material change data provides information which is necessary for keeping the training materials current and compatible with the systems and equipment as engineering, technical, or operational changes are made. Training material change data shall contain the following:
3.6.1Training materials change.Change to training materials for example; management documentation, curriculum materials, and instructional media materials may be developed after these materials are promulgated for use. A change to any training material is issued to add, amend, correct, substitute, delete, or otherwise modify existing data and usually affects less than 30 percent (this is variable according to media type) of the material being changed, and does not impact on course learning objectives or resources.) A change shall consist of three parts: change pages, change materials, and change notices as follows:
3.6.1.1The change pages shall consist of all pages within the training materials that have been modified, corrected, or amended and those pages added or substituted.The change pages shall be in the format of the existing training materials. Changes in training materials shall be made by reissuing new pages on which the changes are to be shown. Complete two-sided pages (both sides) shall be replaced so that the old page can be removed and the new page inserted. (During development, it is essential that each change to a material page be checked for impact on other pages among the training materials.)
3.6.1.2The change materials shall include the instructional visual aids that have been modified, corrected, or amended, added, or substituted.Changes to some media materials are not possible due to the nature of the material. When approved changes are made, the change materials shall be in the format of the existing training materials. (During development, it is essential that the change materials be checked for impact on the instructor guide and trainee guide, as well as other support materials.)
3.6.1.3Change notices are used to transmit changed training materials.Change notices are not used to make or transmit complete revisions. The change notice shall be a letter containing the promulgation heading, justification, and directions for inserting the change and shall include the following:
3.6.1.3.1The promulgation heading shall contain the name and address of the contracting activity, audience (all holders of the document or materials), change and document number, date of the change, number of pages or material items in the change notice, number of changes enclosed, and the signature of approval with the name and title typed beneath the signature.
3.6.1.3.2If the required information is available, this section shall state that the changes incorporate responses to change initiation documents.This phrase shall be followed by a list of the documents providing review and approval information for the change process. Impact of incorporation shall be specifically addressed.
3.6.1.3.3Directions for inserting the change shall provide directions for accomplishing the change, including additional paragraphs which shall provide instructions to enter the change into the document and to retain the change notice.For inserting a change that is supported by a list of effective pages, two columns are required: 1) remove page(s) and 2) insert page(s). Inserting a change that is not supported by a list of effective pages requires the following: 1) new page/material, 2) change status, and 3) superseded page/material.
3.6.2Training materials revision.This data shall provide a revision of training materials to add, amend, correct, substitute, delete, or otherwise modify existing data. (A revision affects learning objectives, requires additional resources, or the revision is of a magnitude to require a course pilot of the material. A revision usually affects more than 50 percent (variable percentage according to media type) of the document or material being modified. A revision results in the replacement of existing curriculum materials with newly developed materials.)
4Standard digital data.shall be delivered for the Standard Data Elements (SDEs).
