The National Information Infrastructure will make available a wide variety of simulation-based education and training services that can be accessed through home or industry telecommunication systems. These simulation-based training systems will be tailored to a specific domain and will allow a student to live in that domain.
Predictor: Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) Task Group: High-Performance Computing and Communications Information Technology Subcommittee
Prediction, in context:In a final draft of their Dec. 1, 1993 recommendations for the National Information Infrastructure, members of the High-Performance Computing Communications and Information Technology subcommittee write the following: ”The National Information Infrastructure will make available a wide variety of simulation-based education and training services that can be accessed through home or industry telecommunication systems. These simulation-based training systems will be tailored to a specific domain and will allow a student to live in that domain. The system will present a variety of skill-based and cognitive-based problems, provide coaching and remedial instruction, and tailor follow-on assignments to address student weaknesses. Fundamental to this vision are authoring tools, digital libraries, associate systems, and the ability to collaborate across space and time.”
