FUNDAMENTALS OF ARC STUD WELDING: AN INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA LESSON FOR SHIPYARD TRAINING

The US Education and Training Panel SP-9's 1991 report, "Recommendations on the Use of Interactive Instruction for Training Shipyard Trade Skills", indicates that although very few American shipyards have use dit or are familiar with it, interactive multimedia has great potential as a low-cast, effective method for the training of skilled trade tasks. These findings led SP-9 to develop an interactive lesson that demonstrates how interactive multimedia can be integrated into shipyard training programs to reduce training costs, increase productivity, promote quality awareness, and improve worker competence. The demonstration combines computer graphics, animation, still and motion video, sound, and touchscreen interaction to demonstrate the broad spectrum of the interactive multimedia technology. This paper describes the project as an example of how shipyard training departments can develop their own interactive multimedia courseware by determining appropriate applications of the technology; selecting the most suitable hardware and authoring system for delivering the instruction; researching, planning and designing the lessons; and shooting the video, authoring the courseware, and integrating them into an effective interactive multimedia course.
