HazMat IQ Four Step System eLearning

描述（由申请人提供）： 国际教育培训中心和HazMatIQ LLC成立了一家公司，开发一个危险材料课件和相关资源库，并将其集成到学习管理系统（LMS）中。根据SBIR拨款申请开发的图书馆中的第一个产品HazMatIQ四步系统将利用先进的培训技术和混合学习。基于HazMatIQ非常成功的课堂培训交付系统，该项目旨在将培训转移到在线版本，以方便更多的受众，降低培训成本，并允许24/7访问。 HazmatIQ将为应急人员提供有关危险化学品特性的全面培训，简化目前在教室和教科书中提供的过于复杂的方法。除了与化学化合物相关的实际内容外，还将设计一种交互式设计，模拟涉及多种危险化学品的真实应急反应的逼真度。这种虚拟体验将使用交互式视频，3D动画和图形将实际案例研究带入生活。在线提供高质量的危险材料/大规模毁灭性武器培训的能力已经变得重要，因为人们期望应急人员的技术专长水平有所提高，而应急人员目前无法接受这种培训。在线培训解决了公共安全专业人员培训所面临的许多问题，允许学生在值班时按时间表进行培训，并能够在发生紧急事件时启动和停止。传统的在岗培训要求人员离职，导致服务缺口。下班后的培训是昂贵的，因为响应者传统上支付加班费。一旦资金耗尽，培训通常会减少或取消。MetaMedia将利用互联网以低成本向广大受众提供高质量、与工作相关的危险材料和安全培训。在用户方便的情况下进行重复培训会增加培训，这将有助于对危险事件做出更安全、更有效的反应。LMS将跟踪学生的参与和评估结果，并根据具体部门的需求生成报告。培训干事可利用这份报告记录其成员的参与情况。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): MetaMedia Training International, Inc. and HazMatIQ LLC have formed a company to develop a library of Hazardous Materials courseware and related resources, integrated into a Learning Management System (LMS). The first product in the library to be developed under this SBIR grant request, HazMatIQ Four Step System, will take advantage of advanced training technologies and blended learning. Based upon HazMatIQ's highly successful classroom training delivery system, this project aims to transfer the training to an online version to facilitate a larger audience, reduce training costs, and allow 24/7 accessibility. HazmatIQ will provide responders with comprehensive training of the characteristics of hazardous chemicals, simplifying the overly complex approach currently being provided in classrooms and textbooks. In addition to the actual content related to chemical compounds, an interactive design that simulates the fidelity of a real-world emergency response involving multiple hazardous chemicals will be designed. This virtual experience will bring actual case studies to life using interactive video, 3-D animations, and graphics. The ability to deliver quality Hazardous Materials/ WMD training online has become relevant due to the increased level of technical expertise expected from Emergency Responders and the current inability of Responders to receive this training. Online training alleviates many problems faced by public safety professionals training, allowing students to train on their schedule while on duty and with the ability to start and stop in the event of an emergency incident. Traditional training on duty requires personnel to be taken out of service, leading to service gaps. Off duty training is costly since responders are traditionally paid overtime. Training is generally reduced or eliminated once funding has been exhausted. MetaMedia will use the internet to deliver high quality, job related pertinent hazardous materials and safety training to a large audience at a low cost. Accessing training at the user's convenience leads to increased training, which will convey to a safer and more effective response to a hazardous event. An LMS will track student participation and evaluation results generating a report based on specific department needs. This report can then be used by training officers to document their members' participation.
