Perspectives on the Virtual Training Program from Members of Its Initial Observer/Controller Team.

Abstract

This report examined the Virtual Training Program's (VTP) strengths and weaknesses from the perspective of its original instructional team. These instructional personnel completed questionnaires and were interviewed regarding their opinions on various aspects of the VTP. Findings from the questionnaires and interviews provided further support for the VTP's instructional value. The participants indicated that unit leaders and units became more proficient during the course of their VTP rotation, and that this improvement was not simply a function of adapting to the Simulation Networking (SIMNET) terrain and equipment. Corresponding the participants had few problems with most aspects of the VTP.
