OLYMPUS: AN INTELLIGENT INTERACTIVE LEARNING PLATFORM FOR PROCEDURAL TASKS

Providing Interactive Systems with educational capabilities is essential in order to achieve real effectiveness in simulation based training. However, the development cost of adding intelligence to those systems is huge. In this paper we present OLYMPUS, a generic learning platform that allows integrating Interactive Systems with an Intelligent Learning System. The platform is able to diagnose students’ activity while they solve procedural tasks, it assists them with feedback and helps instructors follow students’ progress with a monitoring tool. Additionally, OLYMPUS provides the instructional designers with authoring tools to help them during the knowledge acquisition process.
