A Framework for Developing a Collaborative Training Environment for Crisis Management

This paper describes the technical framework of a
near real-life training environment for learning activities
suitable for training in crisis scenarios. The context in focus
here is to make provision for a learning environment that
requires the training of collaborative, as well as independent,
decision making among strategic crisis managers in potential
crisis situations. Modelling the training scenarios takes into
consideration both the pragmatic nature of responding to
crisis, as well as the human-behavioural factors involved in
dealing with situations of chaos and uncertainty. This work is
part of ongoing research on the Pandora1 project, which aims
to provide a near-real training environment at affordable cost.
