Abstract Hazardous material releases pose a serious threat to our communities. In 2018, the Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) found that 50% of states and territories identified chemical and radiological hazardous material releases, the most frequently cited ‘technological hazard’ was a troubling concern (FEMA, 2019). In 2019, the Department of Transportation reported an all-time high 22,756 hazardous material incidents, a 53% increase from just 10 years prior (U.S. DOT, 2020). Yet, first responder hazmat training initiatives for response efforts still often do not adequately prepare responders to safely manage a hazmat scene. Current trainings are limited to classroom-based table top exercises and videos - which do not sufficiently illustrate the risk and response effort. There is a real need for effective high-quality, realistic, and risk-based training to prepare first responders to act quickly and effectively when faced with a hazardous material incident. The team headed by MetaMedia will work collaboratively with the IAFF to develop a mobile learning gamification application combining 360-degree VR interfaced with our new learning paradigm “Point-of-View Learning” (PVL) and gamification training that is grounded in the Assess, Plan, Implement, and Evaluate (APIE) approach, a proven-effective response process for hazardous material situations. Our prototype, Engine Company 1 (EC1), creates a lifelike emergency response training environment using PVL that employs a collaborative, integrated solution combining the best of key learning methods including: (1) instructor-led training (ILT) aided by a custom-developed Facilitator’s Guide, (2) a real-world VR scenario, (3) a gamification eLearning platform designed to disseminate, display, and score APIE-based challenge questions, (4) and a post-assessment identifying weaknesses and feedback for remediation. EC1 will integrate the best practices of classroom instruction, instructional systems design, learning styles, and adult learning theory. This powerful combination harnesses critical decision-making skills by breaking down a complex incident scene into a methodical response approach, analyzing clues on the scene, planning a response, implementing the plan, and evaluating the progress. Making the right decisions in an emergency is not always straightforward and many can involve different perspectives and choices to properly and safely handle the situation. The need to proactively and innovatively support awareness and problem-solving skills before facing real-life situations is critical. A 360- degree VR scenario combined with gamification that encourages calculated and planned thinking from different perspectives strengthens decision making skills, puts knowledge into practice, makes relevant training fun and competitive, lets the learner make mistakes without sustaining harm, and provides a remediated assessment feedback loop. Integrating these multiple forms of learning into a custom training solution that can increase consistent and effective decision making and enhance key skills for situational awareness will be transformative in real-life emergency situations.

摘要 有害物质的释放对我们的社区构成严重威胁。在2018年，利益相关者的准备 审查（SPR）发现，50%的州和地区确定了化学和放射性危险材料 释放，最常被引用的“技术危害”是一个令人不安的问题（FEMA，2019）。2019年 交通部报告了22，756起危险材料事故，增长了53% 10年前（美国交通部，2020年）。然而，第一反应危险品培训倡议的反应努力， 仍然常常不能使响应者充分准备好安全地管理危险品现场。目前的培训有限 以课堂为基础的桌面练习和视频--这些并不能充分说明风险和应对措施 努力有一个真实的需要有效的高质量，现实的，基于风险的培训，以准备第一 当遇到危险材料事故时，响应者必须迅速有效地采取行动。由 MetaMedia将与IAFF合作开发移动的学习游戏化应用程序 将360度VR与我们的新学习范式“视点学习”（PVL）相结合， 基于评估、计划、实施和评估（APIE）方法的游戏化培训， 针对危险材料情况的经证明有效的响应流程。我们的原型，发动机公司1（EC 1）， 使用PVL创建逼真的应急响应培训环境， 该解决方案结合了最好的关键学习方法，包括：（1）由 定制开发的辅导员指南，（2）真实世界的VR场景，（3）游戏化电子学习平台 旨在传播、显示和评分基于APIE的挑战性问题，（4）和后评估 识别缺陷并反馈以进行补救。EC 1将整合课堂的最佳实践 教学，教学系统设计，学习风格和成人学习理论。这种强大的组合 通过将复杂的事件现场分解为有条不紊的 响应方法，分析现场线索，计划响应，实施计划，并评估 进步在紧急情况下做出正确的决定并不总是直截了当的，许多可能涉及 不同的观点和选择，以适当和安全地处理这种情况。需要积极主动， 在面对现实生活中的情况之前，创新地支持意识和解决问题的技能至关重要。一个360度- 度VR场景结合游戏化，鼓励计算和计划思维， 不同的观点加强决策技能，将知识付诸实践，进行相关培训 有趣和有竞争力，让学习者犯错误而不受伤害，并提供补救 评估反馈环将这些多种学习形式集成到定制培训解决方案中，该解决方案可以 加强一致和有效决策，提高了解情况的关键技能， 在现实生活中的紧急情况下的变革。
