Technological and usability-based aspects of distributed after action review in a game-based training setting

Abstract

After action review (AAR) in the distributed setting provides for some unique problems. Some of these problems include remote facilitation of an after action review, keeping a lightweight infrastructure that can handle large amounts of throughput and allowing for different AAR sessions to be run simultaneously. This paper proposes a method for developing a facilitative infrastructure in the AAR setting while providing a solution that allows for syncing of multiple AAR software to one review session. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
