STUDENT HANDBOOKS

A8.1 Student handbooks.

A8.1.1 The purpose of the student handbook is to serve as the course textbook for each training course.

The handbook serves as the textual reference material of blocks of instruction for the course. The subject material of each course identified in a syllabus as having an instructional mode of lecture or seminar is expected to be presented in a student handbook. Although some student handbooks may be so specific as to serve as technical reference material for only a single lesson, most student handbooks are organized around blocks of instruction (e.g., aircraft systems, et cetera). Contractor SMEs generate the text for student handbooks. The support required is to provide project coordination, edit the text, unify the work of multiple SMEs, add appropriate graphics, and layout the result as a unified whole. Contractor personnel will produce, update, review, and revise student handbooks to support academic training covered under this contract. Student handbooks will support formal course programs and may be used for resident and/or non-resident training. The contractor will provide SMEs for all of the lessons and handbooks the contractor is responsible for producing, updating, reviewing, and revising. The contractor will prepare and deliver student handbooks that, as a group, serve as reference material for all lessons that cannot otherwise be readily referenced in a commercially available book or official government document. The contractor will work with government SMEs to determine the consolidation of student handbook subjects so that a series of courses with the same subject matter may use one handbook

A8.2 Authoritative reference. AFPD 36-22; AFH 36-2235, Vol 8 Ch 6.

A8.3 Format. Contractor format is acceptable subject to the approval of the COR.

A8.4.2 Text. The text is used as a reference source for subject matter information in the same way that a college textbook serves as a reference for a college course.

A8.4.3 Drawn graphics. Text will be supported by illustrations whenever possible. All primary subject topics will be supported by illustrations, charts, or graphs that utilize color and dimension.

A8.4.4 Scanned images. Handbooks will include images scanned from photographs or existing illustrations whenever feasible. Digital still photographs are encouraged.

A8.5 Relationship with other documents.

A8.5.1 Student handbooks are standalone documents that may or may not use the sequencing of learning concepts from lesson plans or presentations. However, graphics or images prepared for handbooks may be equally of use imbedded in presentations or as attachments to lesson study guides.

A8.5.2 Supporting graphics placed into the student handbook digital file will be separately archived as master files in their original digital format.

A8.5.3 Frequency and milestones. Existing and new student handbooks will be scheduled for creation or revision by the contractor as handbook information is updated in reference documents (e.g. T.O.s, AFIs, etc.). Milestones with deadlines for the preparation and delivery of student handbooks will be identified in the contractor's approved courseware development schedule.

The deadline to complete corrections will be according to their scope but will generally be within five (5) working days of receipt.

A8.6.2 Final distribution and deadline. Accepted student handbook master files will be prepared in final, one original digital copy will be posted to the master lesson file in the archives, and (as required) one hard copy will be placed into instructor's lesson binder that is reviewed by the appropriate COR IAW AF directives. A .PDF file for incorporation into a student CD is required.
