| AICC Certification Overview
The AICC certifies
training products that comply with AICC Guidelines
and Recommendations (AGR's) via its independent test
labs. The AICC currently offers certification testing for
the following AGR's:
- AGR-006 - Computer Managed Instruction
(File-based)
- AGR-010 - Web-based Computer Managed Instruction
The types of products that can be
certified compliant to AGR-006/AGR-010 are as follows:
- Assignable Units -
Computer-based pieces of learning content
Launchable/trackable from an AICC/CMI system
- CBT Courses - A groups of
assignable units bundled with an AICC/CMI course
structure
- CMI Systems - Systems that
manage and launch AU’s (Assignable Units)
and track student progress. (also called LMS -
Learning Management Systems)
- CMI Application Service Provider (ASP) - A CMI System installed at a central data center
provided by an organization. This organization,
the application service provider (ASP), offers
CMI system "services" to multiple
customer organizations rather than
licensing/selling CMI system software.
- Courseware Generation / Assessment Systems - Content creation/delivery systems that can
either communicate with a CMI system directly as
an AU or generate AU’s such
that some (or all) of AICC communication data is
automatically set or inspected by the system (and
not directly by the content designer). Examples
of such systems are test bank systems, simulation
systems, courseware engines, and courseware
generators. (Formerly known as "Interfacing
Systems".)
- Authoring Systems - Learning
content creation/delivery systems that allow
content designers to directly control the
inspection and setting of all AICC communication
data in the design of Assignable Units.
If you are interested in having your
product certified compliant, please contact Scott

AICC Certification Disclaimer
AICC product certification is NOT an AICC
endorsement of that product, proof of that product's
quality, or an indication of that product's robustness.
All that AICC certification really means is that the
tests documented (see the "certification
statements" listed below) were ran against the
product by a disinterested third party picked by the
AICC. It is entirely possible that a product may pass
AICC certification tests but not meet your needs. Before
purchasing any training product, please take to care to
thoroughly review it for defects and verify that your
required functionality is present. Even if
that product has been AICC-Certified. |
