Abstract

We propose the tutor/aid paradigm which integrates issues in intelligent technical training and real-time aiding of operators in complex dynamic systems. We focus on the pedagogical module of a tutor that not only compensates for a novice operator's deficiencies in knowledge and skills, but also prepares the operator to use the tutor as an assistant after training. As a first step to illustrate the tutor/aid paradigm, we present GT-VITA (Georgia Tech Visual Inspectable Tutor and Assistant), a proof-of concept ITS that has been successfully developed and evaluated, and is being fielded in the domain of satellite ground control.

This research was conducted at Georgia Institute of Technology as part of the doctoral program completed by Rose W. Chu in September 1991.
