A Gaming-Simulation Environment for Learning Using Intelligent Tutoring

Abstract

Intelligent Tutoring Systems, a pioneering application of Computer-Based Training, and Gaming-Simulation, a game-based simulation tool for teaching and learning, are both substantive research and development areas which cross a multitude of disciplines and have the potential for mutual enhancement that would increase the pedagogical effectiveness of the latter. This paper examines possible roles for an Intelligent Tutoring System within a Gaming Simulation Environment and suggests an architecture for a Computer-Based Training environment that integrates Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Gaming-Simulation.
