A digital classroom is a classroom that is fully immersed in technology. Each student has access to an Internet-connected device, whether it be a laptop, tablet, Chromebook, or another device, and the majority (or all of) the curriculum is delivered via an online, engaging, interactive platform. There are so many different websites, extensions, add-ons and apps that teachers can use to enhance their teaching and connect with students. Benefits of digital classes in schools are a lot more than one can ever think of. Digital classroom requires a shift from a teacher-centred to a student-centred environment where the instructor must take on multiple new roles. Classrooms too can be thought of as a platform, and they certainly are no exception to increasing amounts of research and the pervasiveness of multimedia. They have not only changed the perspective of students towards studying but have also helped the teachers in preparing dynamic multimedia educational resources/lessons which can be interesting for students. Students prefer engaging, visually-stimulating, interactive educational materials that require them to collaborate with their peers and use an inquiry-based approach. This ability to focus is more important than IQ or the socioeconomic status of the family one grew up in for determining career success, financial success, and health. These multimedia educational resources also prepare students for life in college and the real world by providing them with a technology-based education Digital classes in schools are also great for the environment because paper use is either eliminated or significantly reduced. This method leads to more and deep learning. Effective relation can also be developed between students and teacher and also among students. They can share their ideas, experiences, and investigations. This method is effective for all students with low learning speed and even for those with high learning speed. The noticeable aspect is that digital classrooms are showing remarkable improvement in pass percentages year-on-year. Furthermore, technological advances are creating innovations that can potentially support the unique and individualised needs of learners in distributed education

A new buzzword in the technical publishing world. New word? Not exactly new, but surely it’s a new word in the Indian Defense Technical Publishing segment. S1000D is an Interactive Electronic Technical Publishing IETP. It’s also called IETM too. S1000d is not new but very few Indian companies, which support documentation of foreign Airline documentation are similar to S1000d word. But almost 90 % of the people who do S1000D conversation do not know what s1000d is. Few tools available in the market which are used to make XML files But they are not an IETM creating tool, Just XML conversion tools. After converting to XML, they send to foreign airlines company, where they foreign airline companies plug-in theses XML into their S1000d suits. What is S1000D S1000D is the European standard of technical publications or technical documentation being followed in Aerospace since 1980, which uses CSDB, a Common source database which is used for preparing, managing, and publishing technical information for a warship, or Aerospace, or even Civil airlines too. The first release of the S1000D Specification was in 1989 and in August 2019 the latest 5 Issue was release An airplane or ship is built with thousands of components, subcomponents and navigation equipment, and many more. Hence, these components are supplied by many OEMs (Original equipment manufacturers). OEMs make the documents to their own standards. Each document and format is entirely different because all OEMs don’t maintain similar standards. At that point, the Technical Publications Specification Maintenance Group (TPSMG) was formed. They proposed a DM-based (Data Module) Based structure. TO manage these Data modules CSDB was maintained. (Database). Data Module is the standalone section of the document. For example, let’s assume that one data module is prepared on Operation of GPS and stored in CSDB, then whenever GPS operations are to be reproduced for different aircraft or different systems, simply that Data module can be copied and plugged. In short, reusability and the format used is XML, and tags are defined by the S1000D steering committee. S1000D History in Brief A few years back S1000d is mainly used in the Aerospace segment, because S1000d is basically governed by Steering Committee formed by ASD, Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA) ATA e-Business Program These organizations form the S1000D Council Hence, it’s more apt for the Aerospace industry. Currently, Defense systems — including land, sea, and air products, civil aviation, Ship industry of the US have adopted these standards while making documentation. Now Indian Defense system is also trying to adopt S1000D for their documentation activities. When Navy/IAF/Army wants s1000d IETM, it is implied that the navy has CSDB Suit /Local CSDB Server 20- 50 OEMs or Service providers will give S1000d data Modules of various systems and the Navy CSDB Local server will host them and monitor them and does the user management If the navy does not have a CSDB suit then, still they can run IETM, but a standalone version where no user management will be done by IETM Viewer. (User management will be done by Navy CSDB Local server which hosts all the data modules of various OEMs) S1000D is not suitable for smaller systems. It’s very apt for the systems which have around 1 lakh pages of documentation and the project has just initiated the documentation. Benefits of S1000D Reusability of data hence reduces production cost Standardization of data and naming conventions Standardization of data and naming conventions Good for legacy data conversion Proper documentation and version control management Zero printing cost and zero occupancies of space as no Hard copies are to be maintained. Achieved by reusing instead of recreating information each time it is required Easily to maintain and distribute: Facilitates transfer of information and electronic output between systems very easily and conveniently Multiple Vendor support Fastest reference to operator or maintainer than traditional paper-based documents Many different output forms can be generated from a single data source i.e. from CSDB we can generate IETM and also PDF format which can be used for printing if need be Customised Output creation: Allows sub-sets of information to be generated to meet specific user needs and user levels. S1000D Users Military Air Land Maritime International Civil/Commercial Aviation Aviation Space Urban General technology Others Manufacturer Integrator Supplier Suppliers of documentation Technical service providers Software vendors Do We Need S1000D Well, to be honest, the answer is Yes and NO. It depends on how big is your System/equipment. S1000d mostly suits to airline industry where every part has a unique number may it be AIRBUS, BOEING BUSINESS JETS, BOMBARDIER AEROSPACE, CESSNA AIRCRAFT. Parts and part numbers are the same. In S1000d documentation, every part is developed as a standalone module/document (data Module). While delivering a document, they compile all data modules and deliver. And all these companies have their own S1000d suit which costs in crores. They maintain a centralised repository. They maintain their own software which takes care of publishing, document management. In our context, it won’t suit our needs and purpose. To maintain s1000d, even Clients must have s 1000d CSDB Studio or Server, and all the s1000d publications supplied by various OEMs/ Vendors will sit in that CSDB Server For that client has to share BREX, business rules to vendors, and guidelines to all vendors so that all the documents will sit properly in the client’s S1000d CSDB Server This is needed when the system has around 2 lakhs of documents to share. And its commercially very costly solution. If, IETM costs you 20 lakhs then S1000d costs you 80 Lakhs. If the system is very big, like documentation for the entire Ship /flight, and documentation has just been initiated, then S1000D is the best solution. Because One S1000d is made, then we can export PDFs and also IETM from the same source files. Code and Pixels and S1000D For the past 8 years, we have been executing IETM projects for Army, Navy, and Airforce in JSG 0852 format. In 2016, the first time we received an inquiry from a Dubai-based oil and gas firm. We have also come across the s1000d term in various Navy documentation meetings. we have then initiated R&D activities on S1000D Implementation and hired S1000d experts who have worked on various defense Aerospace projects. we have interviewed 50 members who mentioned s1000d in their profiles. We picked them from LinkedIn. They don’t even know what s1000d is. They were told that the project was s1000d, and they blindly did data entry work on the conversion of word to XML. We initially tried to develop software for S1000d. We later realized that S1000d is not just making Doc files into XML files. It has thousands of standards of XML tags as mentioned by S1000d documentation. We have searched for an organization that is already an expert in delivering S1000d solutions. After almost 6 months of evolution, we have done a technical tie-up with one of the best s1000d service provider companies. (US-based firm) We have executed projects in S1000d successfully. https://www.codeandpixels.net/s1000d-ietm-ietp

Technical manuals (e.g. maintenance, user, training, operations, etc.) published in electronic format are becoming more and more popular than paper-based manuals for their interactivity, convenience, and ease of use. For example, the maintenance and operation manuals of a warship, which used to occupy 300 -350 sq. feet of prime area with thousands of pages of technical literature It is difficult to refer to some operating process or troubleshooting from thousands of hardcopies To address these issues IETMs were introduced IETMs are a portable, electronic “library” that contains thousands of pages of documentation and images, Videos, and allows end-users to trace technical documentation in a more efficient manner, and the digital nature provides a more agile and accurate method of updating technical documentation. • Level 0 :- Scanned Image / Digital format • Level 1: Simple PDF with multiple pages • Level 2: PDF with hyperlinks to index along with Images. • Level 3: HTML-based pages, similar to a website, where all the content is presented HTML pages along with a Table of content at onside. Linear format following the logic of the content. Next previous buttons with very limited search functionality • Level 4: Advanced IETM with database, and user management, Powerful search and Content, and Document management facility. There are two specifications/standards that exist. IETM — (JSG 0852:2001) Standards are Designed and Developed by the Directorate of Standardization Department of Defense Production. Ministry of Defense, New Delhi Guidelines Framed by: Stakeholders and steering committee: Army, Navy, Air force, Scientist of Defense labs, Capt., Lt. Cdr from various organizations Labs: BEL, ADG systems, NHQ, ACAS, HAL, BDL, GRSE, Goa Shipyard, MIDHANI, MDL, BEML, DQAL, Dte Standardization, CQA, DS cell Bangalore, etc. IETP — S1000D Stakeholders and steering committee: Jointly produced by Aerospace and Defense Industries Association of Europe (ASD), Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA), and ATA e-Business Program. JSG — 0852: 20001 1. Needs Raw content to covert to SQL Database 2. HTML/SGML as source file 3. IETM has an inbuilt Authoring tool, Content management tool, User Management, and reporting 4. Works in Standalone and Client-server mode 5. IETM has Viewer and Administrator and Author Modules 6. Content can be edited by OEM without any tool 7. In short, OEM need not have any software to deploy IETM. S1000D Needs Raw content to covert to XML Database XML as a source file OEM or the place IETM is being deployed must have a CSDB webserver to host the Data Modules/ s1000d XML files to have user management and content management. The vendor gives s1000d files to OEM. If OEM has a CSDB studio server then IETP can be hosted on that server. Otherwise, it plays in a standalone machine as a Viewer. OEM needs an S1000d author tool, commercially available off-the-shelf software to edit. OEM must have an s1000d CSDB server to deploy s1000d files. If no CSDB Server is available then S1000d can still be viewed in Viewer without any Administration tools. Common Source DataBase — CSDB In S1000D Documentation, 2 software’s are used Authoring Tool: • It is like in simple words, MS word, where we write the content and put images, etc. • IN MS word its .doc file, in S1000D, it’s XML Data Module. • In this authoring tools we need to write content in S1000d defined XML Tags, so that all the documents designed by all the OEMs will be in the same lines across the globe. CSDB SERVER • This is server software that stores all the databases and also tracks versions and manages Data modules • S1000D needs some codes so that every Data Module has a unique code. • CSDB server creates these unique codes automatically. • Helps in publishing IETMs, PDFs, and Source XML files Major advantage of s1000d • Let’s say each ship is built by has 50 OEMs and all 50 OEMs supply IETMS in different formats, then it will be difficult to maintain uniformity. • If all 50 vendors give the end-user s1000d IETMs then all the IETMs will almost in a similar format. • To achieve this, the end-user must have an S1000d CSDB server with them to host all the files received by various vendors. • If Navy/IAF/Army do not have CSDB suit then, still they can run IETM, but a standalone version where no user management will be done by IETM Viewer. • (User management will be done by end-users CSDB Local server which hosts all the data modules of various OEMs) S1000D and its basic principle Content or data produced following the standard is in Data Module This data module is the smallest and self-contained content or data unit within a technical publication A data module must have sense and meaning when viewed without any supporting data other than images and diagrams These data modules will be stored and managed in CSDB, Common Source Database Using this CSDB we can publish output in a page-oriented or Interactive Electronic Technical Manual These Individual data modules are re-usable components and can be used repeatedly in an output. Benefits of S1000d? One of the greatest advantages of S1000D is In JSG 0852 IETM, first, documentation has to be done in JSS 251 format, in MS word then IETM activity starts. In S1000D, Separate documentation need not be done. Whatever we do in MS word will be done using s1000d Author software. Once all the documentation is done, we can simply export them either as PDF or as IETM or XML files with Project manifest file so that these can be deployed in any other S1000d distribution servers/ CSDB studios of the end-user (Navy/IAF/Army) Reusability of data hence reduces production cost Standardization of data and naming conventions Open source and non-proprietary Good for legacy data conversion Proper documentation and version control management Zero printing cost and zero occupancies of space as no Hard copies are to be maintained. Achieved by reusing instead of recreating information each time it is required Easily to maintain and distribute: Facilitates transfer of information and electronic output between systems very easily and conveniently Multiple Vendor support Fastest reference to operator or maintainer than traditional paper-based documents Many different output forms can be generated from a single data source i.e. from CSDB we can generate IETM and also PDF format which can be used for printing if need be Customized Output creation: Allows sub-sets of information to be generated to meet specific user needs and user levels. Common information sets provide the following data: - Crew/Operator information Description and operation Maintenance information Wiring data Illustrated Part Data (IPD) Maintenance planning information Mass and balance information Recovery information Equipment information Weapon loading information – Cargo loading information Stores loading information Role change information Battle damage assessment and repair information Illustrated tool and support equipment data Service bulletins Material data Common information and data Training List of applicable publications Maintenance checklists and inspections. https://www.codeandpixels.net/interactive-electronic-technical-manual-services-levels#s1000d
