Further Developments in Web Interactive Training

Three innovative computer programs for training and testing personnel at Kennedy Space Center have been developed under the aegis of the Web Interactive Training (WIT) project. The WIT project exploits the capabilities afforded by the Internet and by state-of-the-art multimedia data-presentation techniques. The World Wide Web is used to deliver training from server computers to client desktop computers on demand. Training can involve multimedia data of various types (text, audio, graphics, and animated video images). Training can be interactive, enabling trainees to tailor lessons to their individual needs; a trainee can select a lesson or segment any time, anywhere, and can repeat a segment as many times as necessary. Interactivity can also be exploited to provide for testing and recording of a trainee's progress.
