There are three primary types of AICC publications. They are are as follows:

Each type of AICC publication is described below.

 

AICC Guidelines and Recommendations (AGRs)

AGRs represent the official voice of the AICC with respect to a designated area. All AGRs have been formally voted upon and approved by the general voting membership of the AICC. AGRs are identified by the prefix "AGR" followed by a number (e.g., AGR-001). All AGR's listed here for download are in RTF (rich text format).

AGR 001 - AICC PUBLICATIONS
This document summarizes all of the publications issued by the AICC. It identifies and provides an abstract of current AICC Guidelines and Recommendations, technical documents, and white papers.
 
AGR 002 - COURSEWARE DELIVERY STATIONS
This document contains recommendations to the aviation industry for the acquisition of a computer-based training student delivery station. Recommendations, with accompanying rationale, are provided for a delivery station's CPU, clock speed, bus, power supply, operating system, RAM, CD-ROM, graphic adapter, monitor, mouse, keyboard, digital audio system, videodisc player, and network.
 
AGR 003 - DIGITAL AUDIO
This document recommends guidelines that promote the interoperability of digital audio. Interoperability means the ability of courseware with audio to playback on different PCs with different audio cards in them. It also means the ability of a single PC to playback courses with audio from different vendors.
 
AGR 004 - OPERATING/WINDOWING SYSTEM
This document provides a formal recommendation to the aviation industry for an operating and windowing system used for delivery of CBT. It contains the results of a survey of the major operating and windowing systems conducted by the AICC.
 
AGR 005 - CBT PERIPHERAL DEVICES
This document recommends guidelines that promote the interoperability of the following peripheral devices: video overlay card, videodisk player, and XY input device (such as a touch screen, mouse, or trackball), and part task trainers.
 
AGR 006 - COMPUTER-MANAGED INSTRUCTION
This document recommends guidelines that promote the interoperability of CMI systems (on local file systems). Interoperability means the ability of a given CMI system to manage CBT lessons from different origins. It also includes the ability for a given CBT lesson to exchange data with different CMI systems.
 
AGR 007 - COURSEWARE INTERCHANGE
This document recommends guidelines for the interchange of the elements that occur in CBT courseware. These elements include: Text, Graphics, Motion (frame-based), Audio, and Logic. These guidelines encompass: 1) The major data components of CBT courseware, and 2) Standard data formats for those components.
 
AGR 008 - DIGITAL VIDEO
This document recommends guidelines for the creation, distribution, and use of digital video in CBT courseware.
 
AGR 009 - ICON STANDARDS: USER INTERFACE
This document recommends guidelines for the functions of the student/user interface and their associated graphic representation in CBT courseware.
 
AGR 010 - WEB-BASED COMPUTER-MANAGED INSTRUCTION
This document recommends guidelines that promote the interoperability of web-based CMI systems. The purpose of this AGR is to promote the same kind of interoperability as described AGR006 for Web-based CBT courseware and CMI systems.
 
AGR 011 - WEB-BASED COMPUTER-MANAGED INSTRUCTION
This document recommends guidelines that promote the interoperability of web-based CMI systems. The purpose of this AGR is to promote the same kind of interoperability as described AGR006 for Web-based CBT courseware and CMI systems.
 
 
AGR 012 - AICC CHECKLIST
This document recommends

AICC Technical Reports & White Papers

Technical reports and white papers typically contain the technical detail underlying an AGR. Technical reports also represent the official word of the AICC in that they have undergone the same formal approval process as an AGR. Technical documents are identified with a prefix which designates the subcommittee from which they originate as follows:

  • CMI - Computer-Managed Instruction
  • COM - Communications
  • CRS - Courseware Technology
  • EXC - Executive Committee
  • ITL - Independent Test Lab
  • MPD - Media and Peripheral Devices
  • PLT - Platform
  • WOS - Window & Operating Systems

Each document has a three digit suffix. The documents are generally numbered sequentially and chronologically. However, because some documents are superseded and others may be canceled, the documents ID's may skip numbers (e.g. MPD 001, MPD 002, MPD 003, MPD 005).

AICC Working Documents

The third type of documentation are working documents. These documents do not have formal approval from the general voting membership. Instead, they are working papers generated by a subcommittee in the course of their work toward an AGR or in their development of a white paper. The material in these documents may change radically from one meeting to the next as the issues are clarified and consensus is acquired. Their identification follows the same format as the technical documentation.
