Integration of Interactive Interfaces with Intelligent Tutoring Systems: An Implementation

Abstract

Turbinia-Vyasa is an instructional system that trains operators in diagnostic problem solving in the domain of marine power plants. It is comprised of a steam power plant simulator and an intelligent tutoring system. The simulator, Turbinia, is based on a hierarchical representation of subsystems, components, and primitives together with necessary physical and logical linkages among them. Vyasa is the computer-based tutor that teaches the troubleshooting task using Turbinia. The simulator, an interactive, direct manipulation interface, and the tutor (with its expert, student, and instructional modules) comprise the instructional system. The interactive interface to the system and the tutor forms an integral and essential component of the instructional system. In this paper, we discuss the interface, including important features and implementation details. Our presentation includes details of the interactions.
