Courseware/Gaming

Below are samplings of our courseware and gaming for your review.

3M

IDSI developed asynchronous self-paced training materials for users of the Maintenance, Material, and Management (3-M) System. This courseware provided revised/enhanced scenario-based curriculum in a self-paced, interactive delivery format to enhance cognitive skill development for Fleet operators and maintainers.

This course was designed for and runs best in Internet Explorer.

Combat Medical

IDSI designed and developed a prototype immersive training and assessment environment for 18D Combat Medics trained at the USAJFKSWCS. The intent of this training was to provide realistic, interactive medical-emergency scenarios for Combat Medic refresher training with instant remediation as necessary.

AWIS

For the Aircraft Wireless Intercom System (AWIS), IDSI created interactive simulations of the three major components of the Truelink™ Wireless Intercommunication System: Mobile Equipment (ME), Aircraft Interface Unit (AIU), and Support Station (SS). “Show me” simulations allow the learner to view each component’s operation.

ACCP

IDSI is in the process of creating Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) content for the Army Correspondence Course Program (ACCP). This courseware provides Soldiers with a dL environment enabling them to learn and sustain the concepts, principles, and declarative knowledge of the Field Artillery discipline. Spanning three phases and 419 hours of courseware, ACCP combines basic instruction with interactive simulations and testing to prepare the Army Soldier for life in the field.

DSB

The U.S. Army DSB Program Office is in the processes of establishing the Dry Support Bridge as a Program of Record. The DSB system will be used by the Army and Marine Corps requiring training to be conducted in multiple locations including schools, home stations and deployed units. There has been an identified requirement for training to be conducted prior to deployment to allow for ease of transition during relief in place operations and to reduce the impact on a units’ ability to meet operational requirements upon arrival in theatre. IDSI, under subcontract to Akima, is responsible for Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI)for the Dry Support Bridge (DSB) which will allow for training the Warfighters during their Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) training cycle prior to deployment.

SABC

IDSI updated Self-Aid and Buddy Care (SABC) for the United States Air Force Medical Operations Agency (AFMOA). IDSI understands the importance of AFMOA’s ensuring that all Airmen acquire critical, life-saving, medical knowledge and skills to administer timely and effective first aid, either to themselves or to their wingmen.

Hazmat

As the result of a previously completed analysis, IDSI was tasked with developing three tools that would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the Transportation of Hazardous Material Certification instructor-led course. IDSI designed and developed a Web-Based Introduction (WBI), Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI), and a Test Manager to enhance the training.

AETC Social Learning

IDSI created Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) for the Air Force Education and Training Command (AETC). The instruction provides e-Learning instructors stand-alone, just-in-time training on specific methodologies of presentation techniques, student management, and administration.

CENTCOM FDO

Courseware for US Central Command (CENTCOM) and Courseware and scenarios for Foreign Disclosure Officer (FDO) is interactive multimedia training with the intent for FDOs to have the principles for releasing or restricting access to classified information based on a variety of data. The training provides scenarios that are realistic situations that require the user to apply FDO principles and make decisions based on available information.

ES2 Patrol Commander

ES2: Patrol Commander is a practical exercise that assesses a learner’s ability to collect information using passive human intelligence collection (PHC) and tactical questioning (TQ) techniques. This exercise incorporates simulation and gaming strategies, allowing the learner to virtually patrol neighborhoods and interact with citizens without placing anyone at risk.

Damage Control Trainer

IDSI was part of team headed by BBN Technologies that developed the Virtual Environments for Ship and Shore Experiential Learning (VESSEL) for the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Navy Recruit Training Command (RTC). VESSEL is a Damage Control Trainer developed using low-cost, open source technologies and a guided discovery strategy. DCT allows students to explore a virtual ship and perform damage control missions while receiving instructionally supportive guidance and feedback.

The DCT is an important innovation in training at RTC because it provides an immersive experience that better prepares recruits for the Battle Stations 21 (BS21) exercise, is appealing to the recruit population, and produces a significant improvement in learning and performance in minimal time (2 hours) without requiring additional instructor resources.
