“…With increasing complexity, ITSs become more difficult to author and require multiple interacting components. Generally, four modules make up the basis of an ITS: a domain model, a learner model, a pedagogical model, and an interface model (Buche et al 2004). One might conjecture that at least one new module would be required for a team tutor.…”

With the movement in education towards collaborative learning, it is becoming more important that learners be able to work together in groups and teams. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have been used successfully to teach individuals, but so far only a few ITSs have been used for the purpose of training teams. This is due to the difficulty of creating such systems. An ITS for teams must be able to assess complex interactions between team members (team skills) as well as the way they interact with the system itself (task skills). Assessing team skills can be difficult because they contain social components such as communication and coordination that are not readily quantifiable. This article addresses these difficulties by developing a framework to guide the authoring process for team tutors. The framework is demonstrated using a case study about a particular team tutor that was developed using a military surveillance scenario for teams of two. The Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) software provided the team tutoring infrastructure for this task. A new software architecture required to support the team tutor is described. This theoretical framework and the lessons learned from its implementation offer conceptual scaffolding for future authors of ITSs.

“…Genomic data visualization systems such as those proposed by Shaer et al [30] could, for example, benefit from our solution. Semantic relationships between elements could also be explored, such as with the MASCARET Virtual Environment meta-model [31]; our widget could facilitate the exploration of information towards a simulation.…”

RICHIE: A Step-by-step Navigation Widget to Enhance Broad Hierarchy Exploration on Handheld Tactile Devices

Abstract. Exploring large hierarchies is still a challenging task, especially for handheld tactile devices, due to the lack of visualization space and finger's occlusion. In this paper, we propose the RICHIE (Radial InCremental HIerarchy Exploration) tool, a new radial widget that allows step-by-step navigation through large hierarchies. We designed it to fit handheld tactile requirements such as target reaching and space optimization. Depth exploration is made by shifting two levels of hierarchy at the same time, for reducing the screen occupation. This widget was implemented in order to adapt a Command and Control (C2) system to mobile tactile devices, as these systems require the on-screen presence of an important unit's hierarchy (the ORder of BATtle). Nevertheless, we are convinced that RICHIE could be used on several systems that require hierarchical data exploration, such as phylogenetic trees or file browsing.

“…In most of the VEs offering this facility, the virtual human who is a substitute for a missing teammate respects his role and performs the actions of the procedure he has to (Steve, SecuReVi). In addition, independently of his role in the team, a virtual human could play various pedagogical roles, such as those proposed by Buche et al [14]: tutor, companion or troublemaker.…”

“…The final step is to respect the pedagogical profile of the virtual human to select the next action to do. The pedagogical profile is a set of propensities (for example to respect the procedure, to make mistakes, etc), it can correspond to the pedagogical roles proposed by Buche et al [14].…”

This application is based on the MASCARET [14] model that organizes the interactions between agents and provide them reactive, cognitive and social abilities. The goal is to train teams to collaborative and procedural work.…”

Abstract. The next generation of virtual environments for training is oriented towards collaborative aspects. Therefore, we have decided to enhance our platform for virtual training environments, adding collaboration opportunities and integrating humanoids. In this paper we put forward a model of humanoid that suits both virtual humans and representations of real users, according to collaborative training activities. We suggest adaptations to the scenario model of our platform making it possible to write collaborative procedures. We introduce a mechanism of action selection made up of a global repartition and an individual choice. These models are currently being integrated and validated in GVT 4 , a virtual training tool for maintenance of military equipments, developed in collaboration with the French company NEXTER-Group.
