“…The Surveillance Scenario was situated in a virtual environment within Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2), which is software that facilitates the creation of custom military training scenarios in a 3D virtual space. It used a model similar to the Event-Based Approach to Training (EBAT) approach (Fowlkes et al 1998;Schaafstal et al 2001) in which simulated events are created for teams to practice specific skills. The Surveillance Scenario requires a team of two.…”

With the movement in education towards collaborative learning, it is becoming more important that learners be able to work together in groups and teams. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have been used successfully to teach individuals, but so far only a few ITSs have been used for the purpose of training teams. This is due to the difficulty of creating such systems. An ITS for teams must be able to assess complex interactions between team members (team skills) as well as the way they interact with the system itself (task skills). Assessing team skills can be difficult because they contain social components such as communication and coordination that are not readily quantifiable. This article addresses these difficulties by developing a framework to guide the authoring process for team tutors. The framework is demonstrated using a case study about a particular team tutor that was developed using a military surveillance scenario for teams of two. The Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) software provided the team tutoring infrastructure for this task. A new software architecture required to support the team tutor is described. This theoretical framework and the lessons learned from its implementation offer conceptual scaffolding for future authors of ITSs.

“…Events based assessment (EBA) is a method developed for simulation-based team assessment to deal with the complexity of authentic clinical interactions [34,35]. Planned critical events are staged to highlight specific teamwork competencies so that raters know which behaviours should occur at which time point.…”

Optimal team performance in healthcare is vital to avoid error. Assessing teams improves their performance by providing accurate feedback to team members. To construct an assessment tool that is both valid and reliable, it is necessary to understand what should be measured, when it should be measured and the context of the team performance. Current assessment methods include observation of behavioural markers, self-assessment by team members, event-based coding, and narrative field notes. Future assessment tools should incorporate best practice elements such as having a theoretical or empirical basis for teamwork competencies, measuring process rather than outcomes, analysing rather than describing performance, capturing non-observable cognitions, distinguishing individual from collective team behaviours, using trained raters, and linking assessment to learning objectives.

“…This last type is also called "critical thinking training" (CTT) [Blickensderfer et al, 1998;Cohen et al, 1998;Fowlkes et al, 1998]. We can notice that the event-based approach to training (EBAT) uses naturalistic decision making [Fowlkes et al, 1998] and is thus directly in the scope of our research question. It is also interesting to note that the CTT approach covers some key concepts of crisis management, for example to cope with large amounts of information.…”

Training decision-makers: Existing strategies for natural and technological crisis management and specifications of an improved simulation-based tool

Serious games and environmental computer-based simulations can be useful training tools for people who have to act in emergencies. Currently, stakeholders who deal with crises have to make decisions under stress, for example in order to mitigate consequences or avoid negative impacts on high-stake elements.Many factors are critical in a training environment for ensuring that effective learning occurs, principally: experience improvement, engagement and immersion, and realism. This paper aims to identify the limits of existing learning systems for emergency stakeholders within a crisis cell and then to propose a set of recommendations in order to specify a system to improve the effectiveness of peoples' actions in case of a major crisis.The development of this approach requires the pooling of information concerning varied and multidisciplinary skills. The paper first focuses on the classical difficulties of crisis management, after which the notion of experience in decision-making is defined. The issue is studied from three points of view: the educational approach, the simulation system, and the training environment.The last section of this paper contributes to establishing a set of enhancements which can lead to the specification of simulation based learning systems for further development. More particularly, we specify the needed characteristics of our learning approach and teaching strategy. Finally, we propose a model with the main steps that have to be implemented in order to design a new learning system: a semi-virtual training environment for strategic crisis management.
