Intranet Delivery of Simulation-Centered Tutoring

Abstract

The need for distance learning based on advanced simulation centered technical training, including artificially intelligent maintenance training using DIAG, motivated the development of iRides, an environment for delivering and authoring interactive graphical simulations and training. iRides makes it possible to transition training materials previously developed using the RIDES and VIVIDS research products for simulation centered training. Java programs that implement a simulation delivery system work in concern with authored graphics and behavioral specifications to provide interactive graphical simulations with training for distance learners. The iRides products were applied to a large-scale training development project on Basic Electricity and Electronics. This stress-testing of the research products revealed issues that serve to guide future research and development efforts.
