The Emergent Leader Immersive Training Environment (ELITE) targets leadership and basic counseling for junior leaders in the U.S. Army. The ELITE experience incorporates a virtual human, classroom response technology, and real-time data tracking tools to support the instruction, practice, and assessment of interpersonal communication skills.While the Army recognizes that communication skills are essential, junior leaders often need more opportunities to practice critical interpersonal skills. If they do receive practice, live role-play sessions may be used. To provide a structured framework for teaching and practicing communication skills, ELITE replaces one human role-player with a life-sized virtual human. The virtual human component addresses the issues inherent to live role-play practice sessions that cannot be easily standardized, tracked, and assessed following the interaction.
