The goal of this project is to develop an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for ship handling. The system employs a cognitive model of expert surface ship navigation integrated with a spoken intelligent tutor (developed by Stanford University) and a ship handling simulation system, the Conning Officer Virtual Environment (COVE). This paper describes how the expert model was developed and how it is integrated with the ITS and COVE.
