Research abstract
The objective of this Phase I proposal is to show that a gaming approach to training is more effective than a non-gaming approach to training. The proposed system will incorporate previously developed Intelligent Tutoring System software (MITT and MITT Writer) with newly developed software to produce a training environment that utilizes gaming techniques. Following this development there will be a pilot study comparing both the gaming and non-gaming systems. The benefits of a gaming environment are that they provide a stimulating and motivational approach to technical training.
