10
Imedia.itSCORM Experience
• More than 2 years creating SCORM 2004 content
• Presented at Plugfest 9 regarding conversion of Common Ground Station course from SCORM 1.2 to 2004
• In 2005, developed ICT with Stottler Henke, which was the 1st SCORM 2004 course delivered to the US Army
• Developed 55 content packages, including 520 SCOs for the US Army since 2005
• Demonstrated “on the fly” remediation using SSP during ImplementationFest 2006 and ITEC 2007.
• Active members of the ADL SCORM TWG
11
Imedia.itSCORM Experience, cont’d
• Members of SISO SCORM/Simulation study group
• Won award for best SCORM compliant product (Tactical Questioning) at ELearning Demofest 2006
• Working with US Army PM-DLS to identify and document issues with current ALMS
• Provided consulting for over a dozen major LMS vendors regarding SCORM compliance issues, including the first two 3rd Edition certified vendors.

This screen shows the intelligence traffic, a partially complete association matrix and a partially complete link diagram. The message summary in the top left panel also indicates if a message has been completely processed. A check mark indicates that the student has identified all associations or events in the message.

Automated AAR system for USMC combined arms team training at single sites or synchronous distributed sites.
17
Projects – C2V ITS
Command and Control Vehicle embedded trainer testbed with integrated Intelligent Structured Trainer providing automated evaluation.
18
C2V Testbed
19
C2V History
• Built as a one person futuristic robotic control station to support embedded training research
• Patterned after early concepts for Future Combat System (FCS) command and control stations
• Represents crew station that might reside in the back of an FCS command and control vehicle
• Used for intelligent tutoring and human-robotic interaction research and experimentation by Army Research Lab (ARL) and UCF graduate students
20
C2V Functionality
• A Soldier would use the control station to manage both ground (UGV) and air (UAV) unmanned vehicle operations
• From the testbed, operator can – Designate routes for UGVs to follow autonomously – Drive UGVs remotely using testbed controls– Engage targets with UGV weapons– Manage route and altitude for autonomous UAVs– Monitor and manage sensors on UGVs and UAVs– Send messages such as call for fires or spot reports

22
C2V Software Architecture
• Simulation is driven by One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol
• Data collection is external
• Data collection sequence– Event detected internally– DIS message created and published externally– Message received by S2Focus – Message parsed to SQL database

Proposed Architecture
28
Initial Phase I Concept
• Develop initial course for skills applied on the C2V testbed– Support lesson SCO– C2V ITS scenario represented with an LSF object– DTECS retrieval of compatible LTP file
• Demonstration consisting of two executions– Beginner student diagnosed as such as a result of the initial
support lesson– More advanced student, for whom a more advanced
scenario will be retrieved and delivered
• Potential additional major goals for Phase II– Capture ITS assessment output in Learner Profile– Present remedial exercises
29
Guiding Principles
• Leverage current and preceding efforts– DTECS, LSF, LTP, etc.
• Compare notes / collaborate with other prototype efforts
• Minimize new course development– Reuse existing scenarios for the testbed– Focus development efforts on developing or extending IPA
concepts of interest to JADL Co-Lab
• Link the ITS world with the DL world!
