ACCOMPLISHMENTS Benefits to the Student Works at the student’s pace Targets feedback at demonstrated weaknesses Assigns the most appropriate lessons Maintains mental model of student Benefits to the Instructor Greater confidence that student understands material In-depth reports of student abilities More time to interact with problem learners Provides consistent, verifiable training
COMMERCIALIZATION Object Modeling Technique ICAT Trains analysts and programmers in Object-Oriented Technology through the Object Modeling Technique(OMT) -- an OO methodology developed by James Rumbaugh, et al. Inter-Vehicular Information System ICAT (IVIS/ICAT) Trains tank commanders in battlefield operations SpaceHab Intelligent Familiarization Trainer (SHIFT) Trains payload and mission specialists in nominal and malfunction operations of theSpaceHab Module Intelligent Physics Tutor Tutors high school and college physics students in solving static and dynamics oriented physics problems LinCom Corporation has been purchased by the Titan Corporation (NYSE:TTN).	GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Technologies Enhanced by ICAT Simulation Structured learning environment backgrounds Students learn by doing Reduces instructor costs and scheduling conflicts Supports single student, team training, client-server Computer-Based Training Student-centered instruction Tracks conceptual understanding Only gives necessary instruction More accurate and extensive feedback Can modify a lesson in real time Allows integration of complex simulations Web-Based Training Provides anywhere, anytime training Allows for integration of complex simulations Permits connection to remote databases Collaborative team training Being developed under NASA contract
