Goals
The goals were to create an online resource for FEMA Housing Inspectors to
study, review, and be tested on all aspects of the housing inspection process.
This includes training for on-site inspections as well as complete training for
the NEMIS ACE2 Field software application utilized on the inspectors mobile
computers.
Challenges
-
Design complete training for housing inspectors covering all standard operating
procedures.
-
Design complete training for housing inspectors covering all screens of the
NEMIS ACE2 Field software application with simulated functionality of actual
software.
-
Navigation for all training to be forward progress based. This required logging
user progress in order to allow/disallow navigation based on user progress.
-
Complete testing of Inspectors offered after completion of training materials,
as well as extensive reporting of user progress and test results.

Methods
To make this an effective tool, the site structure was designed utilizing ASP
and Macromedia Flash. The portal interface was designed as a basic resource as
well a way to get comprehensive training. All training was designed for the HISP
to easily track inspector progress through the training process. A comprehensive
exam was also implemented to certify the instructors training. By using the
power of the multimedia experience Flash offers, as well as a well thought out,
highly efficient training process, all objectives were either met or surpassed.
