Resultado final DISCOVER, Developing Industrial Competence Through Virtual Environments The DISCOVER project seeks to design, develop and validate collaborative virtual reality based simulations for training and assessment of both individuals and teams of personnel operating in the maritime and offshore exploration and production sectors. The implications of poor performance by personnel in these sectors are grave. Providing flexible training and assessment systems is the most effective way of ensuring that people engaged in safety-critical work activities perform competently and consistently under all situations. Unfortunately, organisations operating in these sectors face a number of common problems relating to the implementation of such practices as sending teams of employees to traditional simulation centres is expensive and often logistically impractical. Traditional simulation equipment is expensive to buy and usually specific to particular installation or vessels. DISCOVER aims to directly confront these problems by: -Demonstrating that virtual reality based simulation can be used effectively to develop the competence of individuals and teams located in remote sites. -Providing traditional simulation centres and training providers with experiences in using collaborative virtual reality based simulations for delivering training and assessment services. -Equipping managers in organisations with tools for developing and assessing the competence of personnel in safety-critical situations and improving working procedures. -Developing best practice guidance and experience in developing and using virtual reality based multi-user environments, specifically designed for teams of employees. To achieve the aims of the project, the DISCOVER offer is comprised of: -Safety-critical training delivered using a collaborative virtual environment (CVE), which supports a pedagogic model, and is configurable for both offshore and marine safety-critical training. -The DISCOVER theory module which will cover the teaching of theory delivered in traditional incident management training courses and will utilise case study materials provided by the industry to reinforce learning points. -Sample training scenarios embodying key competence Buscando datos de OpenAIRE...
