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，但他们在危险品响应方面往往缺乏培训，并且可能缺乏如何科普特定事件的知识。训练不足和技能生疏会导致自己和他人受伤，也会使整体情况变得更糟。除了完整的教学课程外，还需要连续的培训和实时性能支持，以使这些工作人员能够有效地工作。用于途中和现场培训的微型课程模块、在职绩效辅助工具和简单的清单，以及访问支持决策或提供微型课程Just-in-Place（r）的现场专家导师，都应该在此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，与上下文相关因素相关，例如：时间，位置，技能，任务以及附近的人或物。项目团队将与已建立的危险品培训组织和服务提供商合作，建立Viyant Hazmat熟练支持人员到位绩效支持系统（Viyant Hazmat），以满足这一需求。Viyant Hazmat将使移动的现场培训材料、绩效辅助工具和检查表能够在工作现场访问，并允许与远程位置的危险品和医疗专家进行实时协作。SSP不仅能够直接与专家交谈，还可以通过使用网络协作工具来增强专家对情况的理解，从而使现场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，这些都是为提高安全性和有效决策而优化的。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。其他危险品受众将在商业化过程中解决。Viyant Hazmat将建立在该公司的Viyant（tm）标准版平台上，该平台目前用于促进设备维修、维护和安装培训以及技术人员的远程操作。我们的研究将包括：1）对Viyant Hazmat软件系统进行原型设计; 2）对有无个人防护设备的拆除工人进行系统可用性和人体工程学测试; 3）根据合作服务提供商提供的现有培训材料开发样本微型培训模块、绩效辅助工具和清单; 4）测试针对特定事件的培训材料的学习效果; 5）对系统进行现场测试。

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.
