Aetech will produce an automated tool to assist in the design and development of courseware for intelligent computer assisted instruction systems using enhanced human-computer interfaces. The automated tool, called the intelligent courseware developer, will use approved Air Force methods of instructional system development (ISD) to allow the Air Force instructional designer to build a course using these new technologies. The system will be delivered as a user-friendly, production-quality program running on the standard Air Force Desktop III microcomputer and developed in ADA using the standard ADA compiler and tools of the Desktop III. Phase I will deliver a prototype CBT system which will demonstrate the concept and with a subset of the functions. Phase II will implement the remaining functionality of the system, test and deliver a working system written in ADA which can be easily modified and enhanced to accommodate new instructional strategies and technologies.
