“…Advanced simulatorbased training enhances the student's learning outcomes, improves the effectiveness of movement, and reduces errors of the trainee in real life [67]. But the effectiveness and efficiency of training service from the MET institution's perspective require additional characteristics, such as investment costs, operational expenses, number of trainees in training, and intensity of use [68]. Additionally, simulator-based training builds up students' observation and evaluation of hazardous circumstances, improves preparing results in contrast with customary study classroom-based activities [69], and makes more cooperative, basic reasoning and case-based learning [70].…”

In the domain of Marine Education and Training (MET), simulators have been utilized for the purpose of training seafarers in the norms for avoiding collisions or for developing the skill of ship manoeuvrability, and even the operation of machinery in the engine room, as well as for conducting research on the subject matter of ship structure, specialized vessel operation, working principle of equipment, and shipboard safety training. These tools are even more important when facing disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In MET institutions, full-mission bridge and engine room simulators have been utilized for teaching seafarers for more than a decade. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to identify immersive and non-immersive simulator applications produced over the previous ten years to improve seafarers’ experiential teaching and learning, in the maritime domain. We retrieved 27 articles using the four stages of PRISMA paradigm: Identification, Screening, Eligibility, and Inclusion. The selected papers were read and analyzed according to the training type, the area of training, and the technologies used. The utilization of immersive and non-immersive simulators in the context of the MET domain has been identified and mapped. A few research studies (9 out of 27) compared immersive and non-immersive simulator-based training with conventional training. The quality and efficacy of immersive and non-immersive simulator training at MET institutions have been studied. A model from the learner’s perspective is essential and recommended for future research to assess efficiency and efficacy.

“…These metrics can be categorized into time, number of mistakes, instruction repetitions, number of hints taken, and accuracy of events and equipment identification. 68 For example, the users' reaction time can be used to judge how fast they reacted to a certain stimulus. The pool diameter of the leak and whether an operator can identify the correct valve to contain the leak 45 have been used to test training effectiveness in VR.…”

“…Currently, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of VR-based training approaches compared to traditional training. 68 VR effectiveness can be enhanced by incorporating specific elements into its environment. Adding game-based elements such as game levels with increasing challenges and social interaction through collaborative training can enhance the effectiveness of VR by improving user motivation and engagement.…”

Human performance is critical to ensure safety and health in hazardous chemical settings, wherein the majority of the accidents have been attributed to human error. As a result, both industry and academia have been concerned about the efficacy of knowledge and skill transfer. Virtual reality (VR) technology is gaining attention as a way to improve human performance. In this paper, we review the literature on the applications of VR to chemical safety in laboratories and industries. Our review reveals that VR offers much potential for training lab users and plant operators as well as for bridging the theoretical knowledge–practical skills gap. However, there is a need to develop systematic approaches to measure the effectiveness in achieving the desired training outcomes. Therefore, in this paper, we discuss the best practices for VR-based training. We also stress the need to incorporate physiological sensors into the VR environment.
