S1000Dinstructor

Transform S1000D Publication Data to SCORM®

Instructor unlocks the AECMA S1000D™ data within a S1000D Data Module (DM), reorganizes and transforms it into SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) e-Learning material. SCORM courseware is easily customized to meet training requirements, ensuring consistency with your Interactive Electronic technical publications (IETP). Developers author Training Content (TC) from AECMA S1000D data, publish SCORM-compliant output, and manage both in a generic content repository. The seamless transformation solution also supports the incorporation of movies, audio, Adobe® Flash animations, and other trainer-authored content.

Inmedius S1000DinstructorAECMA S1000D data is accessed at a very detailed level, maximizing reuse and eliminating the timely and error-prone manual process of re-authoring or cutting and pasting relevant content.


S1000Dinstructor Benefits

  • Ensure consistency between Interactive Electronic Technical Publications (IETP) & training material
  • Maximize AECMA S1000D data reuse, down to an element level
  • Customize content, published SCORM courseware to meet training requirements
  • Publish SCORM-compliant compliant courseware
  • Easily manage, access training content & SCORM-compliant output

The Power of Integration

Instructor and the integrated Inmedius® S1000D™ Publishing Suite™ is a complete, end-to-end solution to successfully manage the technical documentation publication process. Working in conjunction with Inmedius S1000Dmanager™ and S1000DauthorPro™, Instructor accesses one, or many, AECMA S1000D objects and transforms them into SCORM -compliant output. This automated, disciplined process allows the author to reuse smaller sub-sections of the AECMA S1000D information, and to inject training multimedia objects and relate them to the AECMA S1000D content. In addition, Instructor links to the Inmedius Horizon™ content management system, allowing users to manage and access training-specific content in a generic repository environment.

Author, Customize SCORM Courseware

Create e-Learning Material from AECMA S1000D Source Data

Automated, disciplined process unlocks the complex AECMA S1000D technical data within an S1000D Data Module (DM), reorganizes and transforms it into SCORM courseware. Reuse AECMA S1000D information directly as an entire S1000D Data Module (DM), or as specific elements within a DM to customize Training Content (TC) at a very detailed level.
