Effective safety training is instrumental in creating the foundation on which to build a safety culture and encourage best practices. Simulation-based electrical safety training presents dangerous realities safely, by connecting workers with hands-on cause-and-effect learning experiences that would otherwise first be encountered on the job. Simulation-based electrical safety training goes beyond teaching concepts and definitions by providing a virtual environment for interaction, practice, and immediate application of information. In this way it reinforces roles and attitudes, contextualizes information, and serves as a content- rich foundation for a safety culture. This type of training has been used for decades by high-efficiency organizations because they understand that only a fraction of learning effectiveness comes from completing lower-level tasks, such as recalling terminology and procedures. The complex application of concepts is achieved through personalized experiences and unconstrained decision-making with realistic consequences. Safety training is an important bottom line for any safety culture, and simulation-based electrical safety training offers trainees a robust, personalized experience that engages and empowers them far beyond the classroom.

We propose a common improv structure, CROW (Character, Relationship, Objective, Where), as a framework for designing MMOGs with compelling emergent stories.

Two players roll dice bearing glyphs that are interpreted by a computer, which provides graphical and auditory feedback. Our prototype uses ...

EventScope presents one such telepresence visualization interface for bringing scientific missions to the public. Currently, remote experience lessons based on NASAs Mars Exploration Rover missions are being made available through the EventScope framework to museums, classrooms, and the public at large.
