Research abstract
Acuitus delivers revolutionary training programs, centered around an in-house-developed body of educational theory, that support transforming entry-level students into experts, in intellectual fields, in months rather than years. Acuitus has also developed an AI-based Digital Tutor as the centerpiece of our individualized-learning-focused classroom component, which supports scaling this education both economically and with uniform quality across the full range of students. This work is supported by a significant number of third-party competitions and reports, including Effectiveness of Intelligent Tutoring Systems by Kulik and Fletcher (2016). The ability to rapidly create experts will be of significant benefit to the Air Force, especially as complexity continues to ramp across specializations and theaters of application. This Phase 1 project will identify specialties which are high impact and high leverage for this capability, initially derived from our existing information technology systems and network administration courses, and focused on the feasibility to demonstrate outcomes and gains.
