Powell, James; Wright, Theo; Newland, Paul; Creed, Chris; Logan, Brian – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2008
Is it possible to educate a fire officer to deal intelligently with the command and control of a major fire event he will never have experienced? The authors of this paper believe there is, and present here just one solution to this training challenge. It involves the development of an intelligent simulation based upon computer managed interactive…
