Immersive Modular Preparedness Intelligent Tutor for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IMPRINT NIOSH)

项目总结/摘要 国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）的控制层次（HoC）措施有助于 通过确定如何以有效的方式克服现场特定的挑战， 高效.教师必须提供引人入胜的混合培训，以支持工人和第一响应者的安全， 在现场遵守协议。这通常会加重教师提供Zoom或PowerPoint模拟的负担 虽然基于真实的事件，但未能有意义地吸引或沉浸学员。这种缺乏参与感 可能会限制学习，降低学员和其他人遵守协议的能力，从而使他们处于危险之中， 应对现场事件。因此，应急响应培训组织需要一个成本- 有效的培训解决方案，增加模拟的风险和真实性，以更好地装备学员， 在现场时保持安全和有效。 Charles River Analytics与新英格兰财团合作， 评估沉浸式模块化准备智能导师的国家职业研究所 安全与健康（IMPRINT NIOSH）。IMPRINT NIOSH旨在提供一个强大的，商业的，便携式的虚拟 虚拟现实（VR）解决方案，将由智能虚拟培训系统和开发补充 一个框架，积极提高学员在一系列现实情况下执行HoC程序的能力 研究、实地情景、模块和活动。IMPRINT NIOSH将包括一个智能辅导系统 (ITS)指导在不受限制的Oculus Quest VR头显中进行培训， 虚拟培训体验通过IMPRINT NIOSH，学员可以克服复杂，危险的情况， 通过引导和沉浸式程序排练，营造安全可控的环境。学员将 伴随着整个他们的经验与自动化的“培训伙伴”，采用成人学习 在课程背景下加强理论，以提高培训成果。在第二阶段，我们将生产一个系统， 通过生产就绪的VR案例研究开发套件和VR库补充现有培训 案例研究，取代或加强标准纸张和PowerPoint的工作， 培训学员。

Project Summary/Abstract National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Hierarchy of Control (HoC) measures help keep workers safe by determining how to overcome site specific challenges in a way that is efficacious and efficient. Instructors must deliver engaging hybrid training to support worker and first responder safety and adherence to protocol in the field. This often burdens instructors to deliver Zoom or PowerPoint simulations that, although based on real events, fail to meaningfully engage or immerse trainees. This lack of engagement can limit learning, putting trainees and others at risk by decreasing their ability to adhere to protocol when responding to incidents in the field. Therefore, emergency response training organizations need a cost- effective training solution that increases the stakes and authenticity of simulations to better equip trainees to remain safe and effective when they are in the field. Charles River Analytics, in partnership with The New England Consortium proposes to develop and evaluate an Immersive Modular Preparedness Intelligent Tutor for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IMPRINT NIOSH). IMPRINT NIOSH aims to provide a robust, commercial, portable virtual reality (VR) solution that will be complemented by an intelligent virtual training system and development framework that actively improves trainees' ability to perform HoC procedures within a range of realistic case studies, field scenarios, modules, and activities. IMPRINT NIOSH will include an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) that guides training in the untethered Oculus Quest VR headset to provide an immersive, personalized virtual training experience. With IMPRINT NIOSH, trainees can overcome complex, dangerous situations in a safe, controlled environment through guided and immersive procedure rehearsal. Trainees will be accompanied throughout their experience with an automated “training buddy”, that employs adult learning theory in the context of lessons to enhance training outcomes. In Phase II, we will produce a system that complements existing training with a production ready VR case study development suite and a library of VR case studies that replace or augment standard paper and PowerPoint scenario-based activities used to prepare trainees.
