A Training Technology Evaluation Tool

Abstract

A Training Technology Evaluation Tool was developed to help procurers and developers of training technologies to make informed decisions and to improve the overall effectiveness of training technologies. The tool provides estimates of training technology effectiveness, based on expert ratings. The overall ratings reflect the initial performance of the Soldiers to be trained on the tasks covered by the training technology, task and subtask characteristics, learning difficulty, residual performance deficits after using the technology, physical and functional similarities to the operational environment/equipment, and training transfer. The questions in the tool are presented via an Excel program, whereby all mathematical calculations are automated and transparent to the user. The tool can be used at any stage of training technology design and implementation.
