Demonstration: Using GIFT to Support Students' Understanding of the UrbanSim Counter Insurgency Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents our recent work with the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) for authoring tutors and training systems in concert with already developed external applications that provide a wide variety of educational experiences. In this paper, we describe our efforts to extend the GIFT system to develop metacognitive tutoring support for UrbanSim, a turnbased simulation environment for learning about counterinsurgency operations. We discuss specific extensions to GIFT as well as the links we have developed between GIFT and UrbanSim to track player activities. Additionally, we discuss a conversational approach that we are designing to interpret players’ strategies and provide feedback when they adopt suboptimal approaches for their counterinsurgency operations.
