Viyant Hazmat Skilled Support Personnel Just in Place Performance Support

描述(由申请人提供)： 熟练的支持人员(SSP)对现场恢复至关重要，但他们往往在危险物质应对方面培训不足，可能缺乏如何处理特定事件的知识。糟糕的训练和生疏的技能会导致自己和他人的受伤，也会使整体情况变得更糟。除了完整的教学课程外，还需要一系列的培训和实时业绩支持，以使这些工作人员能够有效地工作。用于路线和现场培训的迷你课程模块、在职绩效辅助工具和简单的核对表，以及支持决策或现场教授迷你课程的现场专家导师，都应该在这一培训和绩效支持包中占有一席之地。Just-in-Place(R)是我们提供内容和服务的专有方法，与上下文相关的因素联系在一起，例如：时间、位置、技能、任务以及谁或什么在附近。项目组将通过与现有的危险材料培训机构和服务提供商合作，建立Viyant Hazmat技能支持人员就地绩效支持系统(Viyant Hazmat)来满足这一需求。Viyant Hazmat将允许在工作现场访问移动就地培训材料、性能辅助工具和核对表，并允许与远程位置的危险材料和医疗专家进行实时协作。SSP不仅能够与专家直接对话，还将通过使用网络协作工具增加专家对情况的了解，使现场SSP能够向远程专家发送实时图像和视频。Viyant Hazmat包括一套集成的计算机硬件，从可穿戴计算机到手机、无线通信、混合现实软件工具、内容创作工具、管理工具和支持服务，这些都经过优化，以提高安全性和有效的决策。这项第一阶段工作的具体目标受众是超级基金、棕地和灾难现场的拆迁人员。其他危险物质受众将在商业化期间得到满足。Viyant Hazmat将建立在公司的Viyant(Tm)标准版平台上，该平台目前正用于方便技术人员的设备维修、维护和安装培训以及操作。我们的研究将包括：1)Viyant Hazmat软件系统的原型；2)在使用和不使用个人防护装备的情况下对拆迁工人进行系统可用性和人体工程学测试；3)根据合作伙伴服务提供商提供的现有培训材料开发样本迷你培训模块、性能辅助工具和核对表；4)测试针对事件的培训材料的学习效果；以及5)现场测试该系统。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Skilled Support Personnel (SSP) are essential to site recovery, yet they are often under-trained in hazmat response and may lack knowledge of how to cope with specific incidents. Poor training and rusty skills lead to injury to themselves and others, as well as making the overall situation worse. Beyond full instructional courses, a continuum of training and real-time performance support is needed to enable these crews to work effectively. Mini-course modules for enroute and onsite training, on-the-job performance aids and simple checklists, and access to live expert mentors who support decision making or deliver mini lesson Just-in-Place(r) should all have a place in this training and performance support package. Just-in-Place(r) is our proprietary approach to delivering content and services, tied to context relevant factors such as: time, location, skills, tasks and who or what is nearby. The project team will meet this need by building the Viyant Hazmat Skilled Support Personnel Just in Place Performance Support System (Viyant Hazmat) in collaboration with established hazmat training organizations and service providers. Viyant Hazmat will enable mobile Just-in-Place training materials, performance aids, and checklists to be accessed at the job site and permit real-time collaboration with hazmat and medical experts at remote locations. Not only will SSPs be able to talk directly with experts, the experts' situational understanding will be increased by using web collaboration tools allowing the onsite SSP to send live images and video to remotely located experts. Viyant Hazmat comprises an integrated suite of computer hardware, ranging from wearable computers to cell phones, wireless communications, mixed reality software tools, content authoring tools, administration tools and support services that are optimized for improving safety and effective decision making. The specific target audience for this Phase I effort is demolition crews at Superfund, brownfields and disaster sites. Other hazmat audiences will be addressed during commercialization. Viyant Hazmat will be built on the Company's Viyant(tm) Standard Edition platform, which is currently being used to facilitate equipment repair, maintenance and installation training and operations for technicians at a distance. Our research will include: 1) prototyping the Viyant Hazmat software system; 2) conducting system usability and ergonomics testing with demolition workers with and without personal protective equipment; 3) developing sample mini training modules, performance aids and checklists based on existing training materials from partner service providers; 4) testing learning effectiveness of incident-specific training materials; and 5) field testing the system.
