Project 1: Remote Skills Acquisition for Fire Investigators Aims: Deliver training for Fire Investigators on-line and Assess Fire Investigation skills in the field via live streaming video link using the NBN
Project 2: Enhancing Fire Investigation Skills Nationally Use innovative technologies to create an interface that combines 360 degree ISRAPS photography, video footage and fire modelling (Computational Fluid Dynamics) in a capstone learning and assessment tool Development of a simple application that can calculate fuel loads using a simple drop and drag mechanism
Both projects aimed to trail high speed broadband to deliver training and skills assessment on-line. NBN e-Learning programs
Project 1: • Remote Skills Acquisition for Fire Investigators • Benefits • Consistent assessment across jurisdictions • Timely feedback • Dialogue between expert and learner • Enhanced national Fire Investigation skills • Enhancing skills in rural areas • Used more widely in Fire Service
What we did • 10 learners from rural and regional NSW engaged in eLearning • PUAFIR501B Conduct fire • investigation and analysis • activities
Assessment day • Learners in Armidale assessing the scene • Video footage fed live to Kiama via NBN • Video footage being fed to a CIT assessor in Brisbane via mobile broadband using Cisco Jabber software • Two way discussion between learner and assessor
Scenario Fire Scene
Brisbane CIT Assessor – Greg Carnell • “Huge potential in fire and crime scene training”
Kiama crew – Morgan Cook (facilitator), Terry, Matthew and Craig
Highlights • Live video streaming to learners in Kiama and assessor in Brisbane • Discussion and feedback on assessment between Kiama/Armidale/Brisbane ‘Excellent learning experience’ ‘Contact with experts’ ‘Can see how this can be used operationally’ ‘Authentic assessment’ ‘I’d use this in the field any day’
What will it mean if we roll out this technology? • Enhanced Fire Investigation Skills nationally • Enhanced public safety • Video
Project 2: Enhancing Fire Investigation Skills Nationally Aims Use innovative technologies to create an interface that combines 360 degree ISRAPS photography, video footage and fire modelling (Computational Fluid Dynamics) in a capstone learning and assessment tool Development of a simple application that can calculate fuel loads using a simple drop and drag mechanism
Trials carried out involving personnel from Tasmania Police, Tasmania Fire and Rescue, Canberra Institute of Technology, ACT Fire and Rescue and NSW Fire and Rescue
Developers: Grant Harper and Tim McDonald from Livestream Australia http://waggawaggaweb.com.au/who worked closely with us to develop the interface: E-FI www.efireinvestigation.com.au
