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 on-going 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.
