Adaptive instructional system for safe marine operations in icy waters

Seafarers need ice navigation training to protect the safety of people, the environment, and ships while driving in ice covered waters. In this project, Virtual Marine’s simulators will be used to create a new method of delivering ice navigation training – an adaptive instructional system. In an adaptive instructional system, a computer develops a personalized training experience for each student based on what they know, how they learn, and what skills they have. The goal of developing this adaptive instructional system is to make training more effective for individuals and attractive to potential customers, which could benefit Virtual Marine by improving its training programs and increasing its market share.
