Abstract:

This report describes a research and development effort to investigate the feasibility of combining two new instructional technologies-- intelligent tutoring systems and interactive videodisc-based courseware--into a single instructional vehicle operable on low-cost personal computers. Funded by the Army Research Institute through the Small Business Innovative Research program, the project developed a demonstrable prototype that combines a rule- based expert system with a videodisc-based instruction delivery package for trouble shooting M16A1 automatic rifles.
