The instructor/trainer is a key decision making element in the training and assessment cycle designed to support performance in complex environments, There is an identified need for innovative tools and methods for instructors to use to evaluate performance in simulation based training environments. Bayesian network methods are being investigated as part of a project to provide integrated assessment, debrief and analysis support tools for instructors in an advanced tactics school.
