Microcomputer Intelligence for Technical Training (MITT): The evolution of an intelligent tutoring system

Microcomputer Intelligence for Technical Training (MITT) uses Intelligent Tutoring System (OTS) technology to deliver diagnostic training in a variety of complex technical domains. Over the past six years, MITT technology has been used to develop training systems for nuclear power plant diesel generator diagnosis, Space Shuttle fuel cell diagnosis, and message processing diagnosis for the Minuteman missile. Presented here is an overview of the MITT system, describing the evolution of the MITT software and the benefits of using the MITT system

MITT writer and MITT writer advanced development: Developing authoring and training systems for complex technical domains

MITT Writer is a software system for developing computer based training for complex technical domains. A training system produced by MITT Writer allows a student to learn and practice troubleshooting and diagnostic skills. The MITT (Microcomputer Intelligence for Technical Training) architecture is a reasonable approach to simulation based diagnostic training. MITT delivers training on available computing equipment, delivers challenging training and simulation scenarios, and has economical development and maintenance costs. A 15 month effort was undertaken in which the MITT Writer system was developed. A workshop was also conducted to train instructors in how to use MITT Writer. Earlier versions were used to develop an Intelligent Tutoring System for troubleshooting the Minuteman Missile Message Processing System

A Plan and Guide for the Implementation of a Computer Curriculum at Southeast Fountain Elementary School

This project was developed to provide an orderly plan for the introduction of microcomputers into the total curriculum. A computer curriculum was developed that became a vibrant part of the total experience at the elementary level. The uniqueness of an elementary curriculum has been the manner in which each subject area complemented the other. Science, for example, has not been taught as an independent content area. It has been taught as an extension of the reading program. Also computer instruction must be blended with the other disciplines. It was the purpose of this study (1) to show a plan for implementation of microcomputer instruction as one of the basics within the total elementary curriculum; (2) to provide a teaching guide for implementation of microcomputer instruction; (3) to indicate the appropriate areas of the established curriculum for microcomputers; and (4) to present the·goals and objectives for a microcomputer program. The completion of this project has resulted from a review of current research literature, an inspection of other existing computer curricula, and contacts with specialists within the computer field for assistance. Special assistance was given from representatives of the Indiana Department of Public Instruction, the Technical Assistance Center Region II, and Radio Shack Computer Center of Indianapolis, Indiana. The final result of this project was a method for the integration of microcomputers into the elementary curriculum. This study provided the vehicle for the accomplishment of goals and objectives in the areas of programming and computer literacy. This project was designed and implemented for the 1983-84 school year at the Southeast Fountain Elementary School

Computer Simulations of Biological Growth Patterns: Tree Modeling Success and Applications

The purpose of this investigation was to explore the depiction of trees in three dimensions on a microcomputer. While the use of computer-aided design in landscape architecture is increasing, imagery for plant materials is found to be at a more or less symbolic level. The literature concerning previous inquiries into the mechanisms of tree growth and differentiation provide a good deal of information ranging from physiological basics to sophisticated structural and mathematical growth models. This forms the basis from which programming work proceeded. In this context, the body of work reported here emphasizes the development of a programming methodology for achieving better tree images, rather than the sophistication of the images them-selves. A major goal in this effort was simplicity in the resulting algorithms. This is significant in both minimizing use of computer memory, and in aiding the transfer of the algorithms to other devices and uses. Discussed are the developmental steps taken from an initial tree model requiring a digitizing tablet and the internal storage of coordinates, to a tree model in which machine memory and algorithm complexity are minimized. The methodology deemed most useful is that of storing the tr:es as a general set of rules for image generation, rather than a lengthy data file for each tree. The operational value of this process is intrinsic to future applications; whether six discrete tree types are to be used or sixty types, the computer is working vii with the same amount of data -- the tree generation algorithm. Further applications of this approach could offer savings in both storage requirements and data input for a variety of complex graphic images
