Description
The main objective of this project is to develop 4 training modules with the use of XR technology to offer maritime students training based on real-case scenarios that are related to their daily work obligations and safety requirements. As many onboard procedures are difficult and expensive to be simulated in real case situations, XR gives the opportunity and a different, innovative educational tool that can be easily adopted and used by the students of naval schools. SINTEF will be a project partner to Ready2Respond-project. SINTEF will contribute to the development of the learning analytics dashboard to be integrated in the XR application, the design and evaluation of the gamification elements, building on previous extended experience. They will also lead a pilot study that will be conducted in Trondheim in Norway. Through the project, 5 new jobs will be created. The project will result in increased competitiveness and revenues for SQLearn.
Moreover, SQLearn will increase its business competitiveness by conducting a market development strategy, preparing a strategic plan to align its business with the SDGs, preparing a Gender Equality Plan to promote diversity and inclusivity within the workplace, as well as conducting targeted training to build the capacity of the staff.
