Autodesk provides this document to help instructors and educational institutions develop the necessary skills to teach Inventor and prepare their learners for the challenges of working in industry. This document is the result of extensive interviews with professionals, educators, and managers at prestigious production companies around the world. The Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) ultimately provide clear benchmarks and definitions for instructing with AutoCAD. TIP:Although this document is designed to help facilitate the development of instructor-led courses and lessons, it may also be referenced for self-paced learning by instructors. The Standards encourage self-learning through the use of the AutoCAD documentation and online help. This introduction covers the following topics: • • • • • • Document Goals Document Objectives Prerequisites Using this Document Notes, Tips, Warnings, and Thoughts Feedback Document Goals The Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) have the following goals: • • • • • Ensure learners receive comprehensive instruction of Inventor, with a focus on its role and function in the Design(MFG) industry. Standardize the requirements and/or core competencies for fundamental and intermediate level instruction with AutoCAD. Provide a clear benchmark on the type and level of content that should be taught to new learners of AutoCAD. Provide a content framework for developing high-quality curriculum, courseware, and lessons involving Autodesk AutoCAD. Provide a content framework and reference guide for the Autodesk® Certified Instructor (ACI) program. Document Objectives After reviewing this document, you will be able to: • • • • 2 Explain the purpose of the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS). Identify the structure and features of the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS). Distinguish and organize instructional content typically associated with Inventor into four primary areas. Explain how to develop instructor-led lessons by referencing the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS), indicating features in the document that will enable the collection of additional information around a particular subject. DVIS | AutoCAD Introduction Prerequisites The Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) are designed for instructors who desire fast and efficient access to the essential principles of computer graphics theory, practice, and software technology typically associated with learning Inventor. It is recommended that you have: • • • A comprehensive understanding of Design(MFG) theory and practice. A good understanding of adult learning principles and instructional methodologies. A robust working knowledge of Autodesk® AutoCAD®. Using This Document This section will provide an overview of the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS). THOUGHT:The Autodesk® Certified Instructor (ACI) program includes online and live courses designed to help instructors learn how to best utilize the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (MVIS). For information on the program, visit: http://www.autodesk. com/aci. Using instructional tools like the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS), instructors will be able to develop the most compelling learning content and provide the most effective instruction. The Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) employs a hierarchical structure. This design is intended to provide organization and clarity around content (i.e. information) that can be perceived as highly complex or confusing to the MFG community. It is also meant to ensure instructors have the means to reference the document and get the information they need in the most efficient and productive manner The structure of the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) includes a 3-tier hierarchy LEVEL MODULE SECTION CONTENT REFERENCE 3 DVIS | AutoCAD Design | Visualization Industry Standards THOUGHT:The structure of the Industry Standards (IS) is identical for all document sets. This is strategically designed to promote crosslearning quickly and efficiently so instructors may increase their technical skills and abilities with Autodesk software. MODULES The Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) is divided into 11 MODULES. Each MODULE relates to a standard, functional subject area or feature-set available in Autodesk® Inventor®. Several of the MODULES can be loosely associated to a standardized discipline or career path available in the computer graphics entertainment industry. The MODULES are listed below in alphabetical order: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Drafting / Drawing Dimensions / Annotations Modeling Projramming / Customization Project / Data Management UI / Software Configuration Visualization Each MODULE in the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (MVIS) is divided into 4 SECTIONS: 1. T heory. This SECTION provides content that is conceptual or theoretical in nature. Historical/background information on a MODULE is also identified in this SECTION. 2. Applied. This SECTION provides content that is practical in nature (i.e. how the information or the software technology is typically applied in industry. Workflow and techniques that utilize the software technology are identified in this SECTION. 3. Activity. This SECTION provides recommended activities/exercises that instructors can offer to their learners. Adults typically learn the most knowledge and retain the most skills by ‘doing things’, so this SECTION is perhaps the most important asset for the instructor. 4. Tools. This section provides content relating directly to the features, toolsets, options, and commands available in Autodesk® AutoCAD. THOUGHT:It is up to the creativity of the instructor to create and provide the most stimulating and engaging ACTIVITIES. If you would like to share your ACTIVITY recommendations with Autodesk, please send correspondence to: me.certification@autodesk. com. Your contributions are welcomed and may be listed in future releases of this document! 4 DVIS | AutoCAD Introduction WARNING:The content in the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) is not listed in chronological order! Any instances of this are coincidental and should be evaluated by the individual. SECTIONS Each SECTION in the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) contains many rows of content. Each row of content has designations for LEVELS and connections to REFERENCES. The following section will explain the concept of LEVELS and REFERENCES. LEVELS All content in the Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) has a LEVEL designation. The two LEVEL designations are Fundamental and Intermediate. Advanced LEVEL content is out of the scope of the documents. NOTE:Teaching at a particular LEVEL does not establish the instructor’s comprehension or skills with Inventor. An instructor’s interest in teaching at the fundamental LEVEL courses does not typically mean their knowledge is limited to a fundamental LEVEL. In fact, most instructors teaching at the fundamental level are accomplished Inventor users. The concept of the LEVEL designation is important for two reasons. First, the LEVEL attempts to highlight the amount of difficulty that most beginner MFG learners may have when attempting to absorb a particular piece of information. In this manner, it should be assumed that Fundamental LEVEL content should be taught before Intermediate LEVEL content. Second, the LEVEL attempts to distinguish content that is Fundamental LEVEL or Intermediate LEVEL from content that could be considered Advanced LEVEL. In this manner, it should be assumed that Advanced LEVEL content would directly follow Intermediate LEVEL content. The most important point to remember when considering the LEVEL of any piece of information is how it could be perceived to the learner. Instructors need to remember that most subjects in the MFG field include information that could easily be perceived as Advanced LEVEL to learners that were not previously exposed to Fundamental or Intermediate LEVEL content around the same subject. WARNING:In practice, LEVEL of content is highly subjective to the individual instructor and learner. The content one instructor identifies as Fundamental LEVEL may be Intermediate LEVEL content to another. Similarly, the LEVEL of difficulty learners have with any particular subject can be directly associated to their experience, knowledge, skills, and interests around the subject. Instructors must recognize this and act accordingly! 5 DVIS | AutoCAD Introduction REFERENCES The Design| Visualization Industry Standards (DVIS) contain two different kinds of REFERENCES. 1. ( External Content) REFERENCES. This type of REFERENCE identifies content around the subject that is readily available through the internet. These REFERENCES are indicated in the Theory, Applied, and Activity SECTIONS of the Design| Visualization Industry Standards DVIS).
