Knowledge is commonly socially constructed, through collaborative efforts towards shared objectives or by dialogues and challenges brought about by different persons' perspectives.

Baum, David R. (1989): Perspectives on Embedded Training in Military Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1282-1283.

Embedded training (ET) is the delivery of instruction utilizing the resources (computational, display/control, etc.) of an actual system. The design and implementation of ET in military systems, especially those with tactical missions, presents unique challenges to the training developer. These challenges relate to issues that run the gamut from training effectiveness through system safety and readiness to user acceptance. Because ET is viewed as a cost-effective training option it is being given high priority in military system development. The objectives of this symposium are to: 1) present a discussion of issues in the authoring and implementation of ET; and 2) provide current examples of how ET is being developed and applied in the three military services.

Baum, David R., Schaefer, Raymond W. and Mikula, Mark B. (1987): The Design and Development of a Crew Display Demonstrator. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 353-357.

The U.S. Army Tank Automotive Command (TACOM) has developed a crewstation design tool to aid in defining crew-system interfaces in new or improved ground combat vehicles. The crew display demonstrator (CDD) provides a capability to rapidly reconfigure physical and functional characteristics of an operator station's displays, controls, and interactive dialog features. The CDD consists of a reconfigureable crew-in-the-loop simulation, including vehicle subsystems and tactical environments, and two generic crewstations. The demonstrator is a full-mission, fixed-base combat vehicle simulator capable of representing a wide range of operator interfaces. The crew operates the demonstrator vehicle in a simulated environment while conducting a mission against an interactive threat. TACOM plans to use the CDD to filter functional requirements and performance specifications for the Abrams Tank, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and the Armored Family of Vehicles. Thus, the demonstrator will enable early human factors consideration and influence in the upgrade and design of ground combat vehicle systems.
