Agenda
Introduction
Closed Loop Training Systems
 What do we really need
to close the loop?
?
Learning-related ‘Big Data’ technologies
 Data from informal learning and experience
 xAPI … the experience API
CAE’s TSILE Case Study….so far
Collaborative research and development opportunities

What’s missing: much better data
and much better insight
?
How

An example from personal learning experience
Integrated Learning Environment…get
detailed data about my personal
learning experience
in the aviation domain
in a standardized way
?
xAPI … the Experience API
An emerging standard
Developed at Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL)
A component of the Training and Learning Architecture (TLA)
An open specification…
….that developers can implement…
…to create a learning experience tracking service
Supports mobile devices; supports ‘external’ learning experiences
outside the ‘traditional’ LMS / browser
We started with an instructor-led classroom session
For example, aircraft performance charts for rarely used procedures in
highly automated aircraft (i.e. Max Performance T/O & Landings)
Even in a modern electronic classroom with a well-developed curriculum:

•
The instructor
controls the
lesson ‘flow’;
•
Students get
exposed to the
material only
once;
•
Only the ‘cases’
from the
prepared lesson
are taught…and
(maybe) learned.
e-learning of aircraft performance charts offers
multiple representations and paths
Scenario-based e-learning lesson to
introduce the material
E-learning examples can be
repeated as-often as
necessary…anywhere the
‘learner’ desires
Electronic free-play anytime and
anywhere with all the charts
The learner controls the lesson
flow…and gets instant feedback on
competence
The instructor is available for direct,
relevant, 1-on-1 interaction

Addition of a relevant game environment adds social and
competitive motives…reinforcing frequent refresher learning

Summary
Objective, comprehensive, standardized
‘Big Learning Experience Data’ and analytics will provide the insight we
need to confidently ‘close the loop’
Development of useful analytics depends on good relevant Use Cases
CAE is continuously seeking collaborative partners to help us transform
the aviation training domain into a data-driven science!
