A federated machine learning system for training students comprises a first adaptive training system having a first artificial intelligence module for adapting individualized training to a first group of students and for developing a first learning model based on a first set of learning performance metrics. A second adaptive training system provides individualized training to a second group of students and has a data property extraction module for extracting statistical properties from a second set of learning performance metrics for the second group of students. A data simulator module generates simulated performance metrics using extracted statistical properties from the second set of learning performance metrics to thereby generate a second learning model. A federation computing device receives first and second model weights for the first and second learning models and generates or refines a federated model based on the first and second model weights.

An interactive computer simulation system, station and method for training a user in the performance of a task through a training activity. A tangible instrument module allows a user to interact with the tangible instrument module for controlling a virtual element. A plurality of performance metric datasets representing results of the interactions between the user and the tangible instrument module is obtained. During execution of the interactive computer simulation, in the plurality of performance metric datasets, a plurality of actual maneuvers of the virtual element are detected during the training activity, one or more standard operating procedures (SOPs) are identified for the training activity from a plurality of the individually detected actual maneuvers.

Debriefing a session from a user in a system. During the session, while the user performs actions on one or more tangible instruments of the system, dynamic data is logged in relation to the system along a session timeline. The dynamic data covers the actions of the user on tangible instrument(s). A graphical user interface depicting a debriefing scene, related to the session, is displayed from a first point of view starting at a first time within the session timeline. The debriefing scene is generated starting at the first time from at least a first image feed. Upon detection of a predetermined event in the dynamic data at a second time along the session timeline, a second point of view different from the first point of view is defined and the debriefing scene is generated therefrom after the second time using at least a second image feed.
