Three Reviews of the Instructional Support System (ISS) Concept.

Abstract

The Instructional Support System (ISS) examined in this report is aimed at increasing the utilization of existing simulators, and improving the quality of training. The ISS can be strapped onto existing flight simulators without hardware or software modification. It provides an interface which instructors and students can use instead of the existing displays and controls. The ISS development had three subgoals: to relieve the instructor of ancillary instructional tasks (e.g., problem setup, note taking, mission communications); to provide automatic ancillary instructional tasks (e.g., computer-generated briefings, automated checkrides, automated performance measurement), and to provide a research tool to enable solution of unresolved design issues. This report describes the resulting ISS and tests conducted at VF-124, Miramar NAS. An analysis of the ISS concept which emerged is presented from the viewpoints of instructional design, operational instruction, and performance measurement design.
