3. Moboard was a computer-based training system for radar navigation that Ed Hutchins and I designed. It incorporated insights from Ed's earlier ethnographic studies, a graphical micro-world in which the student could explore the relationships between relative and absolute motion, and a tutorial facility that allowed the student to move step-bystep through radar navigation procedures. This system reduced the failure rate in radar navigation courses from 30 to about 3 percent at the Operation Specialist School in San Diego, CA. A reworked version of this program subsequently became standard refresher training for radar navigation aboard every ship in the U.S. Navy.
