Our Foray Into Virtual Worlds• I-95 Corridor Coalition– Consortium of MANY masters:
• Law Enforcement• Fire & Rescue• Towing & Recovery• Transportation Management• Medical • Media
– For the entire East Coast from Maine down to Florida… • More SOPs than you can imagine• More institutional barriers than we
anticipated• More diversity of users, education levels, and
cultures than we ever considered

What WE see as the advantages
• Can be very realistic and engaging (when done well)
• Can reinforce communication, teamwork, and incident command structure
• Are safer than other methods of training• Can be dynamic – Keeps it interesting– Affords quick and easy variations to scenarios
• Can automate performance measures generation, feedback, and iterations

• It’s not just about the “environment/world”• We often fail to pay close enough attention to the other aspects of
what makes for a successful program• The devil is in the details• Curriculum, trainers, usability, performance monitoring, etc. can be
more important than whiz-bang graphics and features

Where should our focus be directed?
• Core Competencies & Curriculum Development• Delivery Method– Just because you can be geographically separated
doesn’t mean you should be separated…• Usability! Usability! Usability!!!!• System pre-training• Trainer/moderator• Managing trainee expectations – Towing example, FTL shooting example
• Performance monitoring & After Action Reviews• Subsystems
