This Project aims to develop computer simulations to explore and determine optimized tutoring strategies to foster improved learning of ice management operations. The main objective is to develop a set of tools to verify and optimize the design of adaptive instructional systems (AIS). These AIS play the role of an expert instructor, but are automated so that trainees are guided by the simulator through optimal and bespoke learning pathways. The anticipated benefits of the Project are: 1) an increase in knowledge of the cognitive demands and skill acquisition related to ice management in the context of freight transportation; 2) a cost reduction of training scenario development by testing alternative learning scenarios and instructional designs prior to empirical validation with human participants; 3) an increase in training efficiency using optimized scenarios and adaptive instructions.
