Generation of Learning Situations According to the Learner’s Profile Within a Virtual Environment

Abstract

Some working contexts have such a complexity that initial training cannot prepare the workers to handle every kind of situation they migh encounter. This lack of training comes at a high price and leads to productivity loss or low quality manufacturing in industry. Above all, it may be the cause of major accident in high-risk domains. To prevent this risks, virtual environments for training should provide a wide range of learning situations, especially the hard ones, to train the learner how to cope with them. Our purpose is to generate such situations according to the user's capacities. Drawing on the Zone of Proximal Development, we designed a learner's profile based on a multimensional space of classes of situations. Each point of the space depicts a belief on the learner's ability to handle a kind of situation. abstract environment.

User Acceptance of Virtual Reality: An Extended Technology Acceptance Model

“…The virtual environment used in this study was developed using Unity3D by the Heudiasyc Laboratory (Sorbonne universités, Université de technologie de Compiègne) for aeronautical training purposes (Carpentier & Lourdeaux, 2013). The virtual environment represents an aircraft manufacturing workshop (Figure 2).…”

Dynamic stress profile generation for crisis situations training

“…We compared three existing methods: an ontology-based profile [7], a Bayesian network based profile [8] and a transferable belief based profile. [9].…”

“…3) Transferable belief based profile: TAILOR [9] uses transferable belief theory to describe currently mastered skills and skills that are close to be mastered through a graphical representation of most of the encounterable situations in the learning environment.…”

Dynamic generation of dilemmas in virtual learning environments for non-technical skills training

“…The platform [10] is composed of an orchestration module (TAILOR [9]) among others. This module is responsible of generating and selecting situations according to the learner's profile.…”
