New technology is changing the way we train people. The Director of Naval Training (N7) has stated that the Navy needs to incorporate more of this new technology in to its training environments. To achieve this goal, the training community must meet several challenges. N7 asked CNA for help in structuring a cost-benefit analysis of training technology. It wanted CNA to develop a methodology for analyzing and evaluating the potential benefits that new technologies can bring to Navy training. N7 stated that the methodology should define quantitative measures for assessing the benefits, specify mathematical relationships and procedures for computing these measures, and identify the data to be collected.

In this study, we explored ways to quantify the costs and benefits of infusing technology into formal Navy schoolhouse training. At the outset, we worked with the Navy sponsor (N75) to identify a set of high interest and potential technologies - Automated Electronic Classroom (AEC) and Video Teletraining (VTT) - to pursue as a first order of business. This report discusses our analysis and findings concerning the use of AEC technology in Navy training. A separate CNA report addresses our findings with respect to the VTT technology. In keeping with the study tasking, we approached the AEC conversion question as a return-on-investment problem.
