Dynamic instructional planning was explored as a control mechanism for intelligent tutoring systems through the development of the Blackboard Instructional Planner--a blackboard software-based dynamic planner for computerized intelligent tutoring systems. The planner, designed to be generic to tutors teaching troubleshooting for complex physical…

The first volume of the introduction to psychology and leadership course (see the final reports which summarize the development project, EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484), presents an overview which establishes the parameters of leadership which will be developed in later parts of the course. It is intended to be a self-instructional…

An overview of the Lincoln Training System (LTS) and descriptions of the hardward and software of the LTS-1 and LTS-2 systems are provided. The overall program seeks to develop, test, and evaluate technical aids to vocational training systems. These are appropriate to this field because the high costs need to be reduced and because there are clear…

During the quarter covered by this report, the design of the Lincoln Training System-3 (LTS-3) Terminal System was completed and construction of a prototype unit begun. Four major hardware developments occurred: 1) An Image Systems, Incorporated Model 201 CARD Reader was converted into the LTS-3 audio-visual student terminal; 2) the first of five…

The terminal objectives for all eight chapters of the experimental multimedia leadership management course developed by Westinghouse Learning Corporation for the United States Naval Academy are presented in this report. Also included is the script to the film General Order No. 21, and the 41 Critical Behavior Categories of NAVPERS 92224A. Related…

A study assessed the training effectiveness of instructional materials designed in accordance with three format models for (1) recalling facts about equipment, (2) applying rules and regulations, and (3) classifying objects and signals. Three types of self-paced instructional materials were compared: learning aids, programmed instruction, and…

The purpose of this technical report is to describe the media and presentation variables selected for inclusion in the instructional system for the United States Naval Academy leadership course (see the final reports which summarize the course development project, EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484). Considerations for the selection of these…

The answer and confirmation sheets for the United States Naval Academy course on psychology and leadership developed by Westinghouse Corporation are contained in this document. The text-workbooks from which test questions are drawn appear under EM 010 420 through EM 010 447, and the test items accompanying each appear under EM 010 451 through EM…

The design specifications for the United States Naval Academy leadership course developed by Westinghouse Learning Corporation are presented in this report, covering course system design, management, and evaluation. EM 010 418 through EM 010 447 and EM 010 451 through EM 010 512 are related documents, with the final report appearing under EM 010…

The decision to employ direct rather than diffraction recording in the Lincoln Training System (LTS) is reported. This resulted from the findings that direct recording was practical at higher densities than previously thought possible and that rapid access to a number of fiche would compensate for the limited number of frames per fiche realized…

During this quarter further investigations of alternative designs for the Lincoln Training System LTS-4 project's features and subsystems continued. Software efforts proceeded concurrently in three areas: 1) system architecture, monitor, and input/output programs; 2) a new version of the Lincoln Terminal Language, LTL-2; and 3) programs to apply…

The design and operational characteristics of an individualized course development model are detailed in this second volume composed of appendixes to EM 010 418 (see also Part One of the Final Report, EM 010 484). The volume contains an index to technical reports and papers, an index for product tree, course outlines, a list of original terminal…

The rationale for determining the content sequence of the leadership course developed for the United States Naval Academy by Westinghouse Learning Corporation (the final report appears under EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484) is discussed. Each of several theoretical bases for sequencing is discussed and sample applications of the rationale…

Four significant aspects of the leadership management course development project (run by Westinghouse Learning Corporation for the United States Naval Academy See EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484 for the final report) are discussed. The aspects explained are course structure, evaluation procedures, constraints imposed on the course structure…

The course development model used in the development of the leadership course for the United States Naval Academy by the Westinghouse Learning Corporation is briefly presented and examined, with those features which are specific to the USNA indicated. The final report of the project is under EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484. EM 010 418…
