Competency Development Through Experiential Training: Mapping Scenarios with Assessments

A training ecosystem leverages multiple complementary instructional resources to target competency and skill development. In this paper, we introduce work that is integrating assessment functions in the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) with core components in the Total Learning Architecture (TLA) to support persistent performance tracking and reporting in dynamic simulation-based environments. This capability creates a data strategy to translate multi-modal raw data into contextualized statements of performance for use in a long-term readiness monitoring strategy. In this paper we discuss the integration activities, what this new extended architecture supports, and provide a high-level use case associated with infantry squad level competency sets.
