3KEYMASTER™ — Intelligent Tutoring System

Automating routine instruction so instructors can focus on what matters

The 3KEYMASTER™ Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) enhances instructor capabilities by automating routine simulator functions — scripting lessons that run automatically, recording student actions, and offering varying degrees of online guidance. Better simulator utilization. Better use of instructors' time.

The Challenge

Training Capacity Limited by Instructor Availability

Sound simulator training requires qualified simulator instructors to set up scenarios, run the simulator, and monitor student actions. The number of students that can be trained, and how long it takes, has therefore been largely dependent on instructor availability — a bottleneck the ITS is designed to remove.

⚙️
Automates routine tasks

Scenario setup, simulator control, and student monitoring run automatically.

📝
Records everything

Both student actions and simulator responses captured for debrief and assessment.

🎯
Frees instructors

Focus shifts to greater value-added tasks instead of routine simulation controls.

🎓
Students self-advance

Significant learning accomplished without requiring instructor presence.

ITS Philosophy

Augmenting the Instructor — Not Replacing Them

🤝
The ITS is not intended to replace the simulator instructor — it augments and leverages the instructor's knowledge and expertise through the innovative utilization of existing technologies.
With an instructor
Additional mentoring & advice

When used alongside an instructor, the ITS serves as an additional source of student mentoring — extending the instructor's reach and providing supplemental guidance during training sessions.

Without an instructor
Structured self-study

When used without an instructor, the ITS permits students to practice carefully structured exercises — refining or refreshing skills without being allowed to practice bad habits or improper plant operation.

Lessons Functionality

Flexible, Customizable, Voice-Enabled Lessons

Core capability
Lessons customized to simulate a wide range of plant issues — from malfunctions to normal operating procedures

Lessons can be embedded with text and video files for guided mentoring, or stripped of all assistance for life-like test conditions. Students can use simple voice commands to communicate with the ITS — minimizing distraction and preparing future operators for the rigors of the job.

Lesson modes:
🎓
Mentor mode

Full guidance embedded — text and video assistance walks students through every step, ideal for initial learning and familiarization.

🔊
Voice command mode

Students communicate with the ITS via simple voice commands — minimizing distraction and building real-world operational habits.

⏱️
Test mode

All assistance removed — a life-like examination environment that replicates real operator assessment conditions with no guidance.
