An Embedded Tutorial for a Tactical System

Abstract

Surveillance of the oceans by shore based facilities is an important segment of the ASW mission. A system with enhanced capabilities is presently being developed but problems arise in the training of Navy enlisted personnel to utilize this sophisticated equipment. An embedded tutorial training program preserves all the benefits of computer assisted instruction (CAI) while reducing the greatest disadvantage, cost. A demonstration of an embedded tutorial is presented which introduces the new operator to the system, provides help during operations, and has refresher exercises for experienced operators. Since a sophisticated computer-based system must provide guidance and direction during operations the introduction and refresher are available at almost no cost. This demonstration system is intended only to show that a tutorial system can be developed and deployed and does not purport to be a complete deployable system itself.
