This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to create a knowledge and training system that will reliably enable trainees and students to learn more material at a faster rate in any sector of society while, in the process: 1) advancing the scientific knowledge of the pedagogical underpinnings of learning acceleration (specifically through a better understanding of the independent and combined effects of content filtering, intelligent tutoring, and increased learner engagement), and 2) creating a cybersecurity training lesson that will have immediate applications in the military, in government and in education. The intellectual contribution of the project stems from its work in two parallel domains, the first empirical, the second technological. On the empirical front, the project would likely be the first to experimentally assess the individual and combined impacts of content filtering, intelligent tutoring and physiologically-measured, gaming-induced learner engagement on speed to mastery. Technologically, the project would enhance the functionality of a learning content authoring, delivery and management system through the development of: 1) a predictive learner modeling subsystem running on a portable, extensible tool set that supports content filtering and intelligent tutoring, and 2) configuration parameters for a scenario-based gaming engine.Learning acceleration is a fundamental and central, yet largely unattained, goal of the military, corporate and education sectors. While knowledge of the means by which learning speed can be increased is limited, there is solid agreement that major advances in learning acceleration are likely to be technology driven. The project will be conducted within the context of improving cybersecurity and cybersecurity education, thereby focusing on a threat of rapidly increasing magnitude to our national well-being and continued corporate success. Vast improvements in cybersecurity and cybersecurity training and education are widely believed to be necessary to protect the American way of life.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目旨在创建一个知识和培训系统，使学员和学生能够在社会的任何部门以更快的速度学习更多的材料，同时，在这个过程中：1）推进学习加速的教学基础的科学知识（特别是通过更好地了解内容过滤、智能辅导和提高学习者参与度的独立和综合效果），2）创建一个网络安全培训课程，将立即应用于军队，政府和教育。该项目的智力贡献源于它在两个平行领域的工作，第一个是经验领域，第二个是技术领域。在经验方面，该项目可能是第一个通过实验评估内容过滤、智能辅导和生理测量的、游戏诱导的学习者参与对掌握速度的单独和综合影响的项目。从技术上讲，该项目将通过开发以下内容加强学习内容编写、交付和管理系统的功能：1）在支持内容过滤和智能辅导的便携式可扩展工具集上运行的预测学习者建模子系统，以及2）用于基于JavaScript的游戏引擎的配置参数。军事、企业和教育部门的目标。虽然对提高学习速度的手段的了解有限，但人们一致认为，学习加速的重大进展可能是技术驱动的。该项目将在改善网络安全和网络安全教育的背景下进行，从而重点关注对我们国家福祉和企业持续成功的迅速增长的威胁。人们普遍认为，网络安全和网络安全培训和教育的巨大改善对保护美国人的生活方式是必要的。
