Adaptive Training Across Simulations in Support of a Crawl-Walk-Run Model of Interaction

In this paper we present a model of training interaction based on tenets of intelligent tutoring systems and skill development and acquisition. We present a Crawl-Walk-Run approach to training management that associates with the utility of complimentary simulation environments to build a set of skills across multiple exercises and scenarios. In addition, we highlight the role adaptive training technologies can play in this model of interaction, along with technologies being developed to support the authoring and configuration of these experiences. The work presented within is based on the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) and discusses the development of tools and methods to author and deliver adaptive training content grounded in skill development.
