Web-based tutoring from a knowledge library

With modern technology, rapid change characterizes complex dynamic systems, including the practitioners' role and required knowledge. Training in safety-critical domains must occur in a timely manner and ensure that practitioners understand changing systems and procedures. Web-based training provides an excellent opportunity to address these issues because distribution of training can be timely, easily accessed and cost-efficient. Few sophisticated training systems exist for practitioners of complex dynamic systems. GT-ITACS (Georgia Tech Intelligent Architecture for Complex Systems) was designed and implemented as an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) "shell" to support several ongoing Georgia Tech ITS research efforts. Access to domain-specific education and training from a Web-based library may meet the needs of training programs by allowing easy access to ongoing education and training material.
