“…The theory lessons are generally provided first, followed by practical exercises being conducted using the simulators. Numerous 1 3 studies in maritime education aim to improve simulator exercises (Hontvedt and Arnseth 2013;Jamil and Bhuiyan 2021;Mallam et al 2019;Nazir et al 2019;Pan et al 2021;Sellberg 2017). Sellberg (2017) investigates how the maritime instructor applies general learning principles to specific situations during simulation-based learning activities.…”

Assessment in maritime simulator-based education has traditionally been informal and subjective based on instructor experience. Recent research suggests that a more objective and formal approach could be beneficial. Formative assessment has attracted significant attention from higher education institutions. Thus, this study aimed to examine the current practice of formative assessment in maritime simulator-based education, with a special emphasis on simulator instructors’ teaching methods. A qualitative approach with observations and interviews was used in the study since it could provide deep insights into educators’ motivations and understandings of how to meet the educational needs of their students. The findings inform the formative assessment strategies may explicitly enhance maritime education.

“…This limits the flexibility and adaptability associated with testing new concepts and technologies. Given the fast pace of technology development in the maritime industry and changing work practices, we must find flexible and adaptable solutions to supplement the FMBS [52]. Although VR technology is still unable to replace reality or an FMBS, it is getting closer.…”

Using Operational Scenarios in a Virtual Reality Enhanced Design Process

et al. 2021

Maritime user interfaces for ships’ bridges are highly dependent on the context in which they are used, and rich maritime context is difficult to recreate in the early stages of user-centered design processes. Operations in Arctic waters where crews are faced with extreme environmental conditions, technology limitations and a lack of accurate navigational information further increase this challenge. There is a lack of research supporting the user-centered design of workplaces for hazardous Arctic operations. To meet this challenge, this paper reports on the process of developing virtual reality-reconstructed operational scenarios to connect stakeholders, end-users, designers, and human factors specialists in a joint process. This paper explores how virtual reality-reconstructed operational scenarios can be used as a tool both for concept development and user testing. Three operational scenarios were developed, implemented in a full mission bridge simulator, recreated in virtual reality (VR), and finally tested on navigators (end-users). Qualitative data were captured throughout the design process and user-testing, resulting in a thematic analysis that identified common themes reflecting the experiences gained throughout this process. In conclusion, we argue that operational scenarios, rendered in immersive media such as VR, may be an important and reusable asset when supporting maritime design processes and in maritime training and education.

“…In other words, it is a process control training system or a personal skills training system (pit management trainer, drilling rig trainer, etc.) [16,17]. For example, in article [18], a virtual excavator simulator featuring hardware-in-the loop-simulation (HILS) technology and haptic joysticks is presented.…”

A Simulator for Educating the Digital Technologies Skills in Industry. Part One. Dynamic Simulation of Technological Processes

Digital technology is being introduced into all areas of human activity. However, there are a number of challenges in implementing these technologies. These include the delayed return on investment, the lack of visibility for decision-makers and, most importantly, the lack of human capacity to develop and implement digital technologies. Therefore, creating a digital training simulator for the industry is an actual task. This paper focuses on the first step in creating a digital training simulator for the industry: developing a dynamic process model. The process chosen is flotation, as it is one of the most common mineral processing methods. The simulation was performed in AVEVA Dynamic Simulation software. The model is based on a determination of reaction rate constants, for which, experiments were conducted on a laboratory pneumomechanical flotation machine with a bottom drive. The resulting model was scaled up to industrial size and its dynamic properties were investigated. In addition, the basic scheme of a computer simulator was considered, and the testing of the communication channels of a dynamic model with systems, equipment and software for digitalizing was conducted. The developed model showed acceptable results for its intended purpose, namely, an exact match to the technological process in terms of time. This helps to account for inertia and a fast response on all tested communication channels, as well as being acceptable for the real-time simulation speed of the solver.
