It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Dwyer, Daniel J., Oser, Randall L. and Fowlkes, Jennifer E. (1995): A Case Study of Distributed Training and Training Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1316-1320.

This paper describes the first actual application of a distributed training network to the military mission called Close Air Support (CAS). It represents a "case study" and is based upon a set of data collected on military personnel during a one-week series of exercises in a distributed training environment. We describe the objectives of the measurement process, discuss the development and use of the measurement tools, provide several observations based upon the data collected, and offer several preliminary conclusions related to measuring training performance in distributed environments.

Dwyer, Daniel J. (1992): An Index for Measuring Naval Team Performance. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 1356-1360.

The evaluation of team training within the Navy often relies on instructor assessments of human performance. Often, assessments are subjectively derived and may, therefore, contain biases. Consequently, a method for objectively measuring Navy team performance was developed in an attempt to supplement commonly found subjective assessments. The technique is based upon collecting observable indicators of effective and ineffective behaviors across several critical functions of the anti-air warfare (AAW) team. The effective and ineffective indicators are mathematically combined to form a performance index ranging from 0.00 (low) to 1.00 (high) to reflect the team's overall performance level. The AAW Team Performance Index (ATPI) provides a systematic, consistent, and objective measurement approach linked to specific exercise events. The development and use of the ATPI are described.
