“…Micro-adaptation refers to ongoing adaptations made during the course of one session, based upon performance or behavioral assessments (Mödritscher et al, 2004). For instance, a micro-adaptive system might provide feedback that considers a student's solution history (Ong & Ramachandran, 2005). In addition, systems that adapt feedback based on the ongoing progression of an open scenario (one with multiple solution paths) are considered micro-adaptive because students' performance and the unique paths they take determine the manner of feedback.…”

Situated tutors combine features of intelligent tutoring systems with simulated environments. A construct definition for situated tutors was newly developed, and, in this article, we use it to classify an extensive review of operational instructional technologies in order to identify a robust set of situated tutors. We document 86 situated tutors, half of which directly support military training. Initial empirical evidence from these systems suggests that situated tutors may outperform traditional simulations or intelligent tutors. As additional evidence is gathered, we hypothesize that situated tutors will also demonstrate efficiency and effectiveness in cognitive readiness instruction.

“…ITS can provide individualized guidance by developing a model of each trainee's skills via observation and assessment of their actions within interactive environments. Based on this model of the individual, the ITS can then tailor instructional strategies in terms of both content and style (Ong and Ramachandran, 2003; Pon‐Barry et al , 2006).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to inform the development of mixed initiative systems for distributed digital communication of manual skills. In particular, manual skills that are essential in project production paradigms such as engineer-to-order. Design/methodology/approach -Findings from survey research, which included literature review and interviews with practitioners, are reported. Literature review investigated media, strategies, and computation relevant to distributed digital communication of manual skills. Interviews investigated attitudes among industry practitioners towards distributed digital communication of manual skills. Findings -Communication media, instructional strategies, and computational semantics techniques are available which can be integrated to address the limitations of human communication of manual skills. Research limitations/implications -Only ten organizations were involved in interviews investigating attitudes towards distributed digital communication of manual skills.Practical implications -Manual skills will continue to be important to project businesses involved in the production, refurbishment, and/or maintenance of large engineer-to-order products such as public buildings and process plants. The limitations of human communication can be addressed by using a variety media, such as augmented reality headsets, to enable new instructional strategies, such as just-in-time training. Further, combinations of media and strategies can be integrated with computational semantics in the development of mixed initiative systems which provide feedback as well as initial instruction. Originality/value -The originality of the research reported in this paper is that it addresses a full range of enablers for distributed communication of manual skills. Further, an overview of computational semantics is presented which does not rely on prior specialist knowledge. The value of this paper is that it introduces a framework for enabling distributed communication of manual skills. In addition, a preliminary ontology for distributed communication of manual skills is introduced, together with recommendations for implementation.

“…The research to date implicates computer-based SBT as the most effective and efficient alternative. SBT currently allows for individualization at the macrolevel (global changes made to a system based on grouping variables), and researchers are currently investigating its ability to do so at the microlevel (specific changes to a system in real-time based on the current state of the learner; Ong & Ramachandran, 2005;. SBT permits instructors to make basic changes to a simulation system, such as the targeted training objective and the type and complexity of the scenario.…”

Given the fundamental importance of higher-order cognitive skills for military personnel, increasing learning efficiency during training is paramount. The current article expands upon the state-based information-loss processing model, a comprehensive framework elucidating the processes involved in acquiring higher-order cognitive skills, to enumerate best practices for military training. Emphasis is placed on identifying empirically supported, state-of-the-art learning efficiency strategies and methodologies to address points of information loss throughout the learning process. Implications and pragmatic recommendations for simulation-based military training are discussed.The military is beginning to place increasing emphasis on distributed decision making; even personnel at the lowest levels, who were previously required only to remember procedures and follow orders, must now make decisions in the field (Conway, 2008). Thus, real-life applicability represents a crucial component of military training; learners who cannot translate information into performance pose a potentially catastrophic risk to both the learner and his or her fellow troops. As such, individuals at all levels of service will be required to fully comprehend and be able to apply learned information, to understand the interconnectivity of the battlefield, and to envision ways in which their choices will impact the larger battle space. Collectively, these situational demands necessitate that military personnel receive substantial training in higher-order cognitive skills.
