An Intelligent Training Systems Performance Assessor

We propose to develop an innovative performance evaluator to enable training developers and instructors to better monitor and assess training lesson and overall curriculum effectiveness. This will be accomplished by adapting our general IntelligentTutoring system development platform, that already implements intelligent assessment and cognitive learning strategies based on sound pedagogical principles, to create an Intelligent Assessment System. Interfacing the Intelligent Assessment System withcurrent trainers and curriculum, will enable training developers and instructors to better monitor and assess training lesson and overall curriculum effectiveness. The Intelligent Assessment System will be a tool to collect, monitor and analyze humaninteraction information from a training or tactical system involving individual or coordinated teams. In Phase I, we will determine the requirements and develop a system design for the intelligent assessment system. We will absolutely demonstrate thefeasibility of our ideas through the development of a Phase I, proof-of-concept prototype. There are enormous opportunities for both commercial and governmental applications wherever training effectiveness, mentoring or team interaction are involved.
