Alelo proposes to develop a framework for scenario-based training in operational cultural competence comprised of a toolset for developing training scenarios, and a run-time execution engine that can be integrated with a variety of game-based training environments. The scenario construction toolset will enable military users to develop and reuse socio-cultural training scenarios, including trainee performance standards. The run-time execution engine will incorporate instrumentation to compare trainee performance to the training objectives, and provide automated after-action review and remediation capabilities. The proposed framework will be designed to be platform independent, and at the same time integrate as seamlessly as possible with the user interface of specific game platforms, to provide trainees and trainers with a coherent, easy-to-use training environment. In order to produce accelerated results and best leverage DoD funding, we will leverage a number of technologies developed by Alelo in previous research and development projects.
