ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 wofds)The Advanced Instructional Design Advisor (AIDA) is an AFHRL project aimed at providing developers of computer-based instruction with automated and intelligent tools to assist in the design, development, and delivery of courseware. This paper summarizes the design of AIDA and indicates an appropriate method for implementing and testing an initial AIDA prototype. The report is the joint effort of the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL), the sponsor of the research, ana Lhe contractor, Mei Associates, Inc. SUBJECT TtRMSSection 1, describing the history of the AIDA concept within AFHRL and the Laboratory's long range plan for AIDA, was written by AFHRL.Sections 2 and 3, describing the purpose, detailed requirements, approach, and plan for Task 6, were prepared by Mei Associates.Section 4, containing summaries of the concept papers, synopses of the concept design and review meetings, and Section 5, defining the problems to be addressed in follow-on tasks, were prepared by AFHRL.Section 6 presents the preliminary system specifications that are the product of the task effort.The section is divided in two parts.The first describes the functional architecture and was written by AFHRL.The second part lists a sample of some 1OC system functions and characteristics defined in the task.It was compiled by Mei Associates.Finally, Section 7 outlines the research questions which were identified, for both near term and long term resolution by AFHRL. This section was prepared by AFHRL.Mei Associates compiled the appendices and edited the complete manuscript. The purpose of this section is to provide background information. The discussion is divided into four parts: 1) a short history of the AIDA concept, 2) AFHRL/IDC's long range plan for AIDA, 3) the long range schedule, and 4) the benefits of the long range AIDA program. HISTORY OF THE AIDA CONCEPTThe Advanced Instructional Design Advisor (AIDA) was first The central problem in courseware authoring was identified as the difficulty and expense of designing effective instructional materials given the complexities of advanced hardware and software technologies and the variety of instructional settings. Existing systems did not address the issue of effective instructional design at the course level.Spector proposed a computer-based tool to assist in the instructional design process. The tool would reduce course development time while assisting in the production of consistently effective instructional materials. AIDA would incorporate prescriptive advice about course authoring based on established theories of knowledge, learning, and instruction.AIDA would contain a variety of tools. Some would automate established processes. Others wo...

PUCK ABSTRACT (Madmum 200 words)This is the final report for the second phase effort on the Advanced Instructional Design Advisor (AIDA) project. An experimental system called XAIDA is described. The proposed XAIDA is intended to assist subject-matter experts in the design and development of computer-based instructional materials. The functional requirements for an automated and intelligent advisor that would be appropriate for Air Force technical development are presented, along with a system specification. Section 1, describing the history of the AIDA concept within ALHRD and the Laboratory's long-range plan for AIDA, was written by ALHRD. SUBJECT TERMSSections 2 and 3, describing the purpose, detailed requirements, approach, and plan for Task 0013, were prepared by Mei Associates.Section 4 presents an overview of the results obtained in Task 0013.It was prepared by Mei Associates.The purpose of XAIDA is to assist subject-matter experts to design instruction for maintenance training. Section 5 is an analysis of the requirements for successful maintenance training derived from three papers prepared for Mei Associates by Dr. Henry M. Halff during Task 0013.In Task 0006 it was agreed that AIDA would be based on the general theory of instructional design developed by Dr. M. David Merrill and his associates. Section 6 is a summary of that theory prepared by Dr. Merrill for Mei Associates during Task 0013.In Section 7 the functional requirements for maintenance training described by Dr. Halff in Section 5, are restated in Dr. Merrill's more general instructional design theory, as presented in Section 6. This section, prepared by Mei Associates, comprises the functional baseline for XAIDA.In Section 8 Mei Associates proposes a software architecture to implement the functional requirements for XAIDA. It is a summary of Appendix D, the Data Base Design Document.Finally, Section 9 outlines additional research que...
