Analytical Methods for Optimizing Knowledge-Based Information Structures in Simulation-Based Training

  • Chapter
Book cover Advanced Technologies Applied to Training Design

Part of the book series: Defense Research Series ((DRSS,volume 4))

Abstract

For obvious reasons, computer-aided instructions (CAI), training methods and intelligent tutoring systems, e.g. expert systems, are used to assist teachers in performing their tasks and functions. The extent to which it would be useful and desirable to replace a human teacher completely depends on the task to be accomplished, a problem which will be discussed at the end of this paper.
