Unlimited-time training until participant decides to continue

[UriLub]

Hello,

I would like to design a training protocol in which each of the four MATB tasks is practiced individually, with no predefined time limit.
The participant should be able to practice a task as long as they want, and when they feel ready, move on to the next training task. After completing all four trainings, a fixed 5-minute test scenario would begin.

Is there already a way to configure a scenario to:

• run indefinitely until the participant chooses to stop training, and
• then proceed to the next task/scenario?

If not, could such a feature be considered?
For example, a scenario command like "wait for user input before proceeding" would allow us to create flexible training sessions controlled by the participant.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @UriLub,

Unfortunately, it seems to me that the core design of OpenMATB does not allow this type of conditional structure, for now. You must think that each event is time-controlled, i.e., corresponds to a given line, and so to a given execution time. Even if you want, say, train someone on the system monitoring task for 30 minutes, you will have to "hard-code" each failure event at the precise time it is meant to happen.

So, for now, the best thing I can advise is to prepare a very long scenario (with a defined maximum duration, like 30 minutes for instance), and to allow the participant to exit (Escape), which is already possible in the current OpenMATB version.

Best,
