Development and Demonstration of Microcomputer Intelligence for Technical Training (MITT)

Abstract

The Microcomputer Intelligence for Technical Training research described here is founded upon a proven intelligent diagnostic training simulation to construct enhanced models of the student, instructor, and expert in a training environment. An off-the-shelf microcomputer was used to deliver an operational intelligent tutoring system (ITS) with 180 days of project start. The demonstration ITS was developed in cooperation with Air Force and NASA personnel at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The space shuttle fuel cell was the technical domain for this first application. Initial trial use by astronauts, flight controllers, and technical training personnel indicates that the approach is technically feasible and has instructional value for space training applications. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Computer based instruction, Expert systems, Intelligent tutoring systems, Training devices.
