Abstract Hazardous material releases pose a serious threat to our communities. In 2018, the Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) found that 50% of states and territories identified chemical and radiological hazardous material releases, the most frequently cited ‘technological hazard’ was a troubling concern (FEMA, 2019). In 2019, the Department of Transportation reported an all-time high 22,756 hazardous material incidents, a 53% increase from just 10 years prior (U.S. DOT, 2020). Yet, first responder hazmat training initiatives for response efforts still often do not adequately prepare responders to safely manage a hazmat scene. Current trainings are limited to classroom-based table top exercises and videos - which do not sufficiently illustrate the risk and response effort. There is a real need for effective high-quality, realistic, and risk-based training to prepare first responders to act quickly and effectively when faced with a hazardous material incident. The team headed by MetaMedia will work collaboratively with the IAFF to develop a mobile learning gamification application combining 360-degree VR interfaced with our new learning paradigm “Point-of-View Learning” (PVL) and gamification training that is grounded in the Assess, Plan, Implement, and Evaluate (APIE) approach, a proven-effective response process for hazardous material situations. Our prototype, Engine Company 1 (EC1), creates a lifelike emergency response training environment using PVL that employs a collaborative, integrated solution combining the best of key learning methods including: (1) instructor-led training (ILT) aided by a custom-developed Facilitator’s Guide, (2) a real-world VR scenario, (3) a gamification eLearning platform designed to disseminate, display, and score APIE-based challenge questions, (4) and a post-assessment identifying weaknesses and feedback for remediation. EC1 will integrate the best practices of classroom instruction, instructional systems design, learning styles, and adult learning theory. This powerful combination harnesses critical decision-making skills by breaking down a complex incident scene into a methodical response approach, analyzing clues on the scene, planning a response, implementing the plan, and evaluating the progress. Making the right decisions in an emergency is not always straightforward and many can involve different perspectives and choices to properly and safely handle the situation. The need to proactively and innovatively support awareness and problem-solving skills before facing real-life situations is critical. A 360- degree VR scenario combined with gamification that encourages calculated and planned thinking from different perspectives strengthens decision making skills, puts knowledge into practice, makes relevant training fun and competitive, lets the learner make mistakes without sustaining harm, and provides a remediated assessment feedback loop. Integrating these multiple forms of learning into a custom training solution that can increase consistent and effective decision making and enhance key skills for situational awareness will be transformative in real-life emergency situations.

抽象的 2018 年，危险物质的释放对我们的社区构成了严重威胁。 审查 (SPR) 发现 50% 的州和地区识别出化学和放射性危险材料 排放中，最常被提及的“技术危害”是一个令人不安的问题（FEMA，2019 年）。 交通运输部报告了 22,756 起危险物质事故，创历史新高，增加了 53% 仅仅 10 年前（美国交通部，2020 年），针对响应工作的急救人员危险品培训计划。 目前的培训仍然有限，无法让响应人员做好安全管理危险品现场的充分准备。 基于课堂的桌面练习和视频 - 不足以说明风险和应对措施 首先确实需要有效的、高质量的、现实的、基于风险的培训来做好准备。 应对危险材料事件时，响应者应迅速有效地采取行动。 MetaMedia 将与 IAFF 合作开发移动学习游戏化应用程序 将 360 度 VR 与我们新的学习范式“视角学习”（PVL）相结合， 基于评估、计划、实施和评估 (APIE) 方法的游戏化培训 我们的原型发动机公司 1 (EC1)，已被证明是有效的危险材料响应流程。 使用 PVL 创建逼真的应急响应培训环境，该环境采用协作、集成的 解决方案结合了最佳的关键学习方法，包括：(1) 由讲师辅助的培训 (ILT) 定制开发的辅导员指南，(2) 真实世界的 VR 场景，(3) 游戏化电子学习平台 旨在传播、展示基于 APIE 的挑战问题并对其进行评分，(4) 和后评估 EC1 将整合课堂最佳实践，找出弱点并提供反馈。 教学、教学系统设计、学习风格和成人学习理论的强大结合。 通过将复杂的事件场景分解为有条不紊的过程，利用关键的决策技能 响应方式，分析现场线索，策划响应，实施计划，评估 在紧急情况下做出正确的决定并不总是那么简单，而且很多都涉及到。 需要采取不同的观点和选择来正确、安全地处理这种情况。 在面对现实生活中的情况之前，以创新方式支持意识和解决问题的能力至关重要。 VR场景与游戏化相结合，鼓励计算和计划的思考 不同视角强化决策能力，将知识付诸实践，进行相关培训 有趣且有竞争力，让学习者犯错误而不造成持续伤害，并提供补救措施 将这些多种形式的学习集成到可以的定制培训解决方案中。 增加一致和有效的决策并增强态势感知的关键技能 在现实生活中的紧急情况下具有变革性。
