Air Education and Training Command (AETC) Studies and Analysis Squadron (SAS) in conjunction with 333rd Training Squadron (TRS) at Keesler AFB, MS is evaluating an innovative application of Electronic Books (e-books). Testbeds for this study are the Base Information Protection (BIP) course and the Air Force Defense Message System (DMS) course. At issue are the suitability and effectiveness of Electronic Books as a replacement for printed course materials (textbooks, study aids, course handouts, etc). Before e-books, the DMS course had a fluid content taught via paper media. Updates in the curricula continuously forced changes in the paper media. Course instructors implemented these changes through reproduction of the course lessons, study aids, and handouts, incurring extremely high print/reproduction costs to the unit. Because e-books mitigate these costs, speed the update process, and somewhat improve student scores, they represent a viable alternative to paper media.
