AETECH WILL PRODUCE AN AUTOMATED TOOL TO ASSIST IN THE DESIGN AND DEVE LOPMENT OF COURSEWARE FOR INTELLIGENT COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION SYSTEMS USING ENHANCED HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERFACES. THE AUTOMATED TOOL, CALLED THE INTELLIGENT COURSEWARE DEVELOPER, WILL USE APPROVED AIR FORCE METHODS OF INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT (ISD) TO ALLOW THE AIR FORCE INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER TO BUILD A COURSE USING THESE NEW TECHNOLOGIES. THE SYSTEM WILL BE DELIVERED AS A USER-FRIENDLY, PRODUCTION-QUALITY PROGRAM RUNNING ON THE STANDARD AIR FORCE DESKTOP III MICROCOMPUTER AND DEVELOPED IN ADA USING THE STANDARD ADA COMPILER AND TOOLS OF THE DESKTOP III. PHASE I WILL DELIVER A PROTOTYPE CBT SYSTEM WHICH WILL DEMONSTRATE THE CONCEPT AND WITH A SUBSET OF THE FUNCTIONS. PHASE I I WILL IMPLEMENT THE REMAINING FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SYSTEM, TEST AND DELIVER A WORKING SYSTEM WRITTEN IN ADA WHICH CAN BE EASILY MODIFIED AND ENHANCED TO ACCOMMODATE NEW INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES AND TECHNOLOGIES.
