The Advanced Instructional Design Advisor

The Advanced Instructional Design Advisor is an Air Force project which involves the development and testing of automated instructional design guidance for use by Air Force technical training specialists in the development of computer-based training (CBT). This paper discusses the particular structure of an experimental instructional design advisor and how it has and will be used as a research platform to guide future efforts in automating instructional design. The experimental system described makes use of automated instructional strategies which can be systematically altered along a number of dimensions (e.g., amount of learner control, use of qualitative feedback during practice, etc.). Such a tool is essential to conduct research in this area, and has the added benefit of facilitating the rapid prototyping of CBT.
