Integrated Training and Performance Support for the Objective Force - 0 views

  • Electronic performance support may take many forms
  • automated cognitive decision and planning aids
  • communication and service support aids

  • collaborative, distributed problem solving aids, and tools for terrain and automated pattern analysis
  • Electronic performance support should “decrease task complexity and execution times to improve performance while minimizing sensory, cognitive, and physical demands on the soldier”
  • Before identifying the training and performance support needs, there must be a general understanding of what each term means. The problem is that there is much confusion and disagreement over what the terms “training” and “performance support” mean and how they are different.
  • Training provides the user with required knowledge along with practice and feedback in applying that knowledge in order to reach task proficiency. Training is used to support initial acquisition of skill performance as well as for sustaining or refreshing such performance.
  • training can be accomplished through various methods (e.g., simulation, computer-based, classroom instruction), the method of primary interest here is embedded training
  • Performance support, on the other hand, presents the appropriate information, at the appropriate time (i.e., during task performance) and level of specificity, using techniques appropriate to the user’s ability and needs
  • refined the definition of embedded training as follows: training provided by capabilities built into or added onto operational systems to provide, enhance, and maintain the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to enable task performance.
  • The training may not necessarily be fully embedded in each FCS platform. In fact, it most likely will not be. Instead, it will reside on operational networks and each platform will have the capability to access and download information and software as needed. Training will thus be embedded fully in the network; it is not umbilical to the network since network connections (wired or wireless) are an inherent part of the system of systems.
  • For the user, differentiation of the location of software and information is not important, since it will be transparent. However, from a systems design perspective, the systems will operate much more efficiently and effectively, since everything will be available from a central location or hub.
  • although embedded training is considered effective and acceptable by users, few valid and reliable data exist on its cost and effectiveness.
  • some students may not take full advantage of exploratory opportunities, no matter what the method of training. While these students cannot be forced to make use of the available opportunities, future research needs to determine how best to persuade students that these opportunities are to their advantage.
  • Electronic Performance Support Systems Review The term EPSS was first coined by Gloria Gery. She defined it as a computer-based system that includes access to information, guidance, advice, assistance, training, and tools to enable performance with minimum support from other people (Gery, 1991)

Use of Embedded Performance Support Tools and Its Relationship to the Effectiveness and... - 0 views

  • Support tools embedded in self-instruction help learners practice the performance of the task they are learning in the instruction

  • job aids are used to "direct immediate performance...when the need to know arises," whereas instruction "usually happens before a need arises and builds the capacity of the individual"
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • job aids and performance support tools are not designed to help people learn
  • Self-instruction might be made more effective if learners can be persuaded to spend more time on learning tasks
  • this might be done is by embedding job aids or performance support tools in the instruction
  • monitoring and regulating devices were embedded
  • merely including hypertext links in a hypermedia self-instructional course did not by itself increase the time learners spent on the instruction
  • support tools enabled learners with field-dependent and field-independent learning styles to achieve equally well
  • Performance support tools that provide relevant information may help learners with internal locus of control learn the content better
  • embedded in the target course
  • likely to influence student satisfaction
  • performance support tools
  • additional and summative supporting material provides variability, which maintains the learner's interest
  • supporting material both summarizes information the learner is already familiar with
  • injects additional material that is relevant to the content of the course
  • connecting the material to the learner's experience in the course
  • Spending more time on task in a hypermedia program because of manadatory note-taking resulted in significantly higher achievement scores than those who were not required to spend time taking notes
  • embedding performance support tools in instruction that can later be used on the job is supported by the M.A.S.S. model of transfer

EtherPad Blog: Embedding Etherpad - 0 views

  • To embed a pad in your web page, point an iframe's src to an EtherPad URL. For example: <iframe width=630 height=400 src="http://etherpad.com/foobar?fullScreen=1" />
  • Embedding a Read-Only Pad (Broadcasting)
  • embed a read-only view of a pad that updates live. We refer to this live updating as "broadcasting". It is useful for, among other things, live-blogging to a wide audience.

Stuart Selber Explores How Social Web 2.0 Features Change the Nature of How-to Instruct... - 1 views

  • Selber’s framework explores how new “social” online tools are currently changing the nature of instruction both at Penn State and around the world.
  • At one end of the spectrum is what Selber calls the self-contained instruction set, such as a manual presented in print or other static format that is handed down to a user in fixed form, often written by a professional technical writer
  • In his framework, those include “embedded” how-tos, where instructions are still fixed, but around which readers can add comments, discussions, and ratings, and “open” how-tos, which readers can actually edit or customize using tools such as wikis.
