Research Methods and Technologies for Blended Live and Synthetic Personalized Learning, Modeling and Assessment Open Broad Agency Announcement

This effort is an open BAA soliciting innovative research concepts in the development, test, and validation of training approaches to learning and performance. This program deals with science and technology development, experimentation, and demonstration in the areas of improving and personalizing individual, team, and larger group instructional training methods for the airman. The approaches relate to competency definition and requirements analysis, training and rehearsal strategies, and models and environments that support learning and proficiency achievement and sustainment during non-practice or under novel contexts. This science and technology effort falls broadly under the categories of personalized learning, readiness, and cognitive modeling. Within these areas, the areas of focus include measuring, diagnosing, and modeling airman expertise and performance, rapid development of models of airman cognition and specifying and validating, both empirically and practically, new classes of synthetic, computer-generated agents and teammates.
