The Intelligent Tutoring System of an Engine Room Simulator

This paper describes an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) that was used for the DIS-based real-time Engine Room Simulator (ERS) at the Faculty of Maritime Sciences of Kobe University. In this ERS system, some specific models of ITS can manifest almost all of the behavioral features of the real systems on board ships especially those relevant to the MET (Maritime Education and Training) goals. Its evaluation models can contain the appropriate handles, to enable a knowledgeable communication with the learner about the model contents. Therefore, the ITS can provide a basis for generating articulate simulation models to successfully evaluate the students behaviors and competences. The evaluation methods are especially described in detail in this paper. The evaluation methods are divided into three types: Type A, Type B and Type C according to the different interaction relationships among evaluated objects. Type A is used mainly for a linear Node Series, Type B is used mainly for a nonlinear Node Series, and Type C is used only for malfunction simulation.
