Introduction to MMCLD’s Computer Based Training
MMCLD has a unique ability to translate and link learning, knowledge and business requirements to established learning practices and technology options, creating leading edge solutions from the breadth of technology available in the market place ensuring longevity in the provided solution.
Our expertise in the design and development of Computer Based Training (CBT) extends from simple and intuitive interfaces, clean graphics and limited interactions through to use of 3D models and graphics in complex scenarios and activities.
MMCLD uses the MILSPEC Levels as a description of the four levels of computer based training commonly referred to when developing eLearning.
Level 1 Computer Based Training
MILSPEC 1
Level 1 CBT involves passive interactivity with the learner acting solely as a receiver of information.
At this level MMCLD uses engagement techniques such as multiple-choice tests, pop-ups, rollovers, simple animations, and true or false exercises.
MMCLD believes passive eLearning is best suited for situations where content is key. This might include changes in HR policies, information s from the executive team, or simple new features of existing products.
Level 2 Computer Based Training
MILSPEC 2
Level 2 CBT involves limited interaction with the learner making simple responses to instructional cues.
At this level MMCLD employs engagement techniques such as drag-and-drop and other matching exercises. Some application simulations that do not require input of field data may also be developed, as well as interactive animations in which the learner has the ability to investigate some task.
Limited interaction eLearning sessions are suitable for the introduction of new product, new procedures or processes, or new features of existing products.
Level 3 Computer Based Training
MILSPEC 3
The third level of CBT involves complex interaction with the learner making a variety of responses using varied techniques in response to instructional cues. Interaction may involve use of text entry boxes and manipulation of graphic objects to test assessment of the information presented. At this level the learner can experience the consequences of incorrect responses with movement through the training session predicated on the decisions made by the learner.
Most organisations can represent many of their day-to-day activities and choices required of their workers by employing eLearning that uses this level of complex interaction.
Level 4 Computer Based Training
MILSPEC4
In some training instances real-time interaction is required. These may be situations in which a product or situation is so complex that it requires lengthy, in-depth training. This fourth level of interactivity has the learner directly involved in a life-like set of complex cues and responses.
Real-time interaction means engaging the learner in a simulation that mirrors the work situation with stimuli-and-response coordinated to the actual environment. Learning and assessment is done real-time, with feedback occurring nearly instantaneously, and a seemingly infinite number of scenarios.
Flight simulators are a good example of Level 4 CBT.
Moodle LMS Deployment
MMCLD has extensive experience in the development and deployment of eLearning on multiple learning management systems including proprietary systems such as the Defence Learning Management System, CAMPUS, and can accommodate client’s preference for specified authoring tools in the development of eLearning courseware.
If our clients do not have an existing LMS, we can custom design, develop and deploy an LMS to suit their individual needs.
Mobile Deployment
To support the ever increasing ‘mobilised’ workforce and use of mobile devices such as tablets, MMCLD uses responsive design allowing courses to be developed more intelligently and adaptively. These characteristics are needed to provide eLearning courseware to mobile devices in order to support the underlining screen resolutions and form factors.
