| W05: Crisis management training |
|
Saturday, 16 October Crisis management training: design and use of online worlds In this workshop, we will analyse and discuss empirical studies of interaction design methods for training crisis management in safety critical, emergency and disaster situations. The workshop theme is thus narrow in a contextual way (by dealing with unusual situations); but broad in the sense that we wish to discuss various experiences to form an understanding of current practice, and how people adapt and learn to act in new (often extreme) situations. Online worlds (which include simulations, virtual environments, augmented reality and massive multiplayer games) have potential to aid in training staff to deal with crisis situations. We wish to investigate possibilities for designing, using and evaluating interactive online worlds for learning key skills and enhancing current training methods Further information on the workshop website.
