Education Requirements

Educational Requirements - Future Trends in Deployments and Technologies The principle objective of this work is to investigate the impact that future trends in technology and deployment scenarios have on the educational requirements of future military personnel. This report focuses on identifying HF problems specific to the selection, education and training of the person rather than interfaces with equipment.

Delivering Optimal Training for Future Systems This research task, forms part of a wider project studying Optimal Training for Future Systems scheduled for a three-year duration starting in 2006. It was decided that this phase should take the form of a scoping study helping to define the research emphasis of later parts of the project. As the delivery of training for future systems is clearly a multi-faceted problem, it was further decided that this element should focus on the capture of training requirements by the procurement process. Other work, reported elsewhere, will address other aspects of the problem such as the actual means by which future training will be delivered to a target audience.

E-learning Selection Toolkit

The e-Learning Selection Toolkit is a spreadsheet-based toolkit designed to provide guidance on the suitability of e-Learning (in its broadest sense, from CBT to the use of integrated synthetic environments) as training solutions for a given defence application. It is designed to support those operating in training roles that have training expertise but not necessarily detailed experience of e-Learning, or related media delivery technologies.

Initial / Junior Warfare Officer Performance Capture Tool

Initial / Junior Warfare Officer Performance Capture Tool: Research Milestone Summary This report is a short summary of an informal assessment of I/JWO tasks and performance features conducted during a single day’s exposure to simulator assessments at HMS Collingwood (Endeavour Building), which resulted in the development of a prototype trainee multitasking performance capture tool, based upon an OpenGL-based, PC-hosted part-task simulator.
