The Aviation Industry CBT Committee is a membership-driven organization dedicated to helping the aviation training community get the most out of today's technology. We do that by bringing together aviation trainers, courseware developers, software vendors, simulator designers and airframe manufacturers to develop standards, technology recommendations and analysis of best practices. We share our standards and certification processes with the public.

The Passing of Claude Ostyn

It is with great sadness that we received the news on Monday of the passing of Claude Ostyn. The learning technology community has lost one of its shining lights. Claude has been a major contributor from the earliest days to many many areas of learning technology, from the AICC CMI spec to SCORM to metadata, and most recently in the area of competencies and competency management. It would be a very difficult task indeed to cite all of the contributions Claude has made to our community, but there is no doubt that his legacy and spirit will live on. Claude represented the best of what honest debate and intelligent discourse can produce. Those of you who had the opportunity to work with Claude know this well. He will be surely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Claude's family and friends.

    We should work together to keep Claude's memory alive, and the best way to do this is to keep his work available and to continue the important work he was doing in competency modeling. Perhaps the AICC could host his resources as an adjunct to its website.
