Education and Training Solutions

RTI researchers develop a multimedia presentation and video game that will teach middle school students about the effects alcohol has on the brain.

We provide education and training solutions for medical, health, military, law enforcement, homeland security, and commercial markets using advanced technologies that are based on solid science and subject matter expertise. We have a proven track record of working with our customers to solve technical, programmatic, and communication issues that meet their requirements within budget and on schedule.

Development Process

Knowledge Capture

We begin by using knowledge capture to develop an in-depth understanding of our customer's challenges, problems, and constraints. We then research and apply novel science, concepts, processes, and ideas to meet those challenges and resolve those problems within the constraints.

Technologies Development

We develop technologies using a careful process of application to early-adopter problems. We work within tight budgets and schedules and under rigorous controls to ensure customer satisfaction, project success, and measurable cost-effectiveness results.

We consider—and apply—the range of technology needed for the customer solution. These technologies include desktop simulations, appended devices, novel physiological monitoring devices, hands-on trainers, and platform-dependent means of distribution.

Partnering

We partner with industry and academia whenever necessary in developing inventions, recruiting talent, teaming, licensing, and acquiring cutting-edge science, concepts, processes, and ideas.

Systematic Training Analysis

Our GPD instructional methodology has proven to be powerful yet flexible for a range of simulation training applications. An earlier version of this methodology grew out of our long-term experience and practice and became the standard across a major customer's educational system.

Customer Solutions

Outputs of our processes can include new market creation, out-licensing agreements, spin-offs, and reusable tools, templates, and intellectual property. We work with customers to help them adopt—and adapt—our solutions as their needs evolve.

Focus Areas

Our education and training programs encompass a broad range of research and development capabilities in distributed learning, simulation, assessment, and monitoring technologies, and field-based medical training. Our expertise and program portfolio include the following focus areas.

Training Development and Analysis

Organizations need to provide the best training for employees at the lowest possible cost. Using advanced learning technology, our customers enjoy effective training systems while increasing their student throughput and reducing their training costs.

Distributed Simulations

Distributed simulations that are delivered over the Web are key technologies for just-in-time, just-in-place training or assessment. We have developed these technologies, essential for lifelong learning, by designing with reusable templates to rapidly produce a high-fidelity, Level-III-or-above simulation of the subject system and task environment.

Sim-Patient

Our scientists are leading the research and development of modeling and simulation technologies, including the development of responsive virtual humans. We use scenario-based training to improve clinical, pre-hospital, primary, and emergency care by enhancing medical education, training, and practice.
