"Activity in Context" - Planning to Keep Learners 'in the Zone' for
Scenario-based Mixed-Initiative Training in Virtual Worlds

Austin Tate, AIAI, Informatics, University of Edinburgh

SHORT ABSTRACT

This paper explores how to provide support in a training-orientated
"I-Zone" augmented by intelligent systems technology - with the aim
of providing a virtual space for intelligent scenario-based
learning. The approach is to

* constrain the world situation and activities possible
* select relevant tasks and events
* inject events to situation to keep learners 'in the zone'
* induce appropriate learner 'activity in context'.
