Simulation Interface Standards Study Group

Joint Activity with SISO SAC This study group will evaluate the rapidly changing instructional standards and simulation standards environment and to look at whether additional standards are appropriate and feasible for interfacing instructional systems with simulation systems. In particular, the study group will evaluate existing and emerging standards for distributed training (to include IEEE 1484.12 Learning Object Metadata, SCORM 2004 and emerging extensions to SCORM such as Sharable State Persistence, and related IMS standards) and existing and emerging standards for simulation (to include IEEE 1516 (High Level Architecture) and IEEE 1278.1 (Distributed Interactive Simulations). It will determine whether interface standards can help to facilitate the instructional aspects of simulations both by shaping the learner’s experience in the simulation to achieve instructional goals and to extract appropriate instructional assessment data from the simulations.
