Background
One of our goals at Saab Aeronautics is to make our training more accessible and adapted to our different target audiences.

Providing individual feedback in digital learning environments is often challenging, however new AI technologies provide us with the opportunity to personalize course content. Adapting the training to each individual and giving the right type of feedback at the right time and supporting self-reflection is essential to ensure that our training material is of high quality and has the intended learning impact.

Description of the Thesis Project

The goal of this thesis is to explore how to design AI-generated feedback for best learning outcome. Material from Human Factors and/or Safety Management courses can be used for development, testing, and evaluation. These courses are often offered to heterogeneous groups of participants with different professional and educational backgrounds. Several research questions can be explored within the scope of this thesis, including: What type of information should be used in AI-generated feedback and how should the feedback be designed and presented for the best learning outcomes? What types of tutor-led information and feedback are most suitable to be transferred from a classroom setting to a digital learning environment. For students who wish to take a more technological, computer science approach, the thesis could also include developing and evaluating a RAG-based system using domain-specific data to generate relevant and contextual feedback. This thesis will be performed at Flight Operations and Operational Training, at SAAB Aeronautics.
