Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that is becoming more common for applications in the field of education and training. VR can be used to create simulated two- and three-dimensional scenarios, promoting interactions between the user and the environment, which allows experiencing virtual training situations very close to real actions. The aim of this text is to describe the development of a teaching and training tool using VR technology for scuba divers' operations within the aquatic context for enhancing critical thinking. To this end, a survey of requirements based on real procedures was carried out in order to transpose them into a synthetic environment. After the construction of the artefact, it was tested and evaluated by qualified users, and the results are promising.

LEA (Learning Environments Agent) is a web-based software system for advanced multimedia and virtual-reality education and training. LEA consists of three fully integrated components: (1) unstructured knowledge-base engine for lecture delivery; (2) structured hierarchical process knowledge-base engine for step-by-step process training; and (3) hierarchical rule-based expert system for natural-language understanding. In addition, LEA interfaces with components which provide the following capabilities: 3D near photo-realistic interactive virtual environments; 2D animated multimedia; near-natural synthesized text-to-speech, speech recognition, near-photorealistic animated virtual humans to act as instructors and assistants; and socket-based network communication. LEA provides the following education and training functions: multimedia lecture delivery; virtual-reality based step-by-step process training; and testing capability. LEA can deliver compelling multimedia lectures and content in science fields (such as engineering, physics, math, and chemistry) that include synchronized: animated 2D and 3D graphics, speech, and written/highlighted text. In addition, it can be used to deliver step-by-step process training in a compelling near-photorealistic 3D virtual environment. In this paper the LEA system is presented along with typical educational and training applications.

AbstractOne way to anticipate that people are always in preparedness is through comprehensive education and training involving the community, family and schools. The specific purpose was to integrate disaster curricula and learning tools to improve preparedness competencies. Research has been conducted for 4 (four) years from 2013 to 2016 in Elementary Schools, Secondary Schools, and Higher Education in Aceh. The methods used were Research & Development, Classroom Action Research (CAR), and training and simulation. The results of this study found that the conceptual approach to the development of innovative disaster learning models was very helpful in shaping, growing, and increasing student preparedness holistically. The application of disaster curriculum integration, teaching materials, two and three-dimensional learning media, and e-learningbased learning were showed a significant impact on students' preparedness competencies. In addition, competency-based training and simulation activities were also effective in increasing disaster knowledge, attitudes, and community preparedness in educational institutions. This study concluded that the integration of disaster education curriculum & disaster learning devices could be improved preparedness competencies. The planning and design of disaster education curriculum, as well as its application in improving preparedness competencies through education and training/simulation could be carried out comprehensively.   Salah satu cara mengantisipasi agar masyarakat selalu berada dalam kesiapsiagaan adalah melalui pendidikan dan pelatihan yang sifatnya komprehensif dengan melibatkan masyarakat, keluarga, dan sekolah. Tujuan khususnya adalah untuk mengintegrasikan kurikulum kebencanaan dan perangkat pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan kompetensi kesiapsiagaan. Penelitian telah dilakukan selama 4 (empat) tahun sejak 2013 hingga 2016 di Sekolah Dasar, Sekolah Menengah, dan Pendidikan Tinggi di Aceh. Metode yang digunakan adalah Research & Development, Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK), serta pelatihan dan simulasi. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pendekatan konsep pengembangan model pembelajaran kebencanaan yang inovatif sangat membantu dalam membentuk, menumbuhkan, dan meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan peserta didik secara holistik. Penerapan integrasi kurikulum kebencanaan, bahan ajar, media belajar dua dan tiga dimensi, serta yang berbasis e-learning menunjukkan dampak yang signifikan terhadap kompetensi kesiapsiagaan peserta didik. Selain itu, kegiatan pelatihan dan simulasi berbasis kompetensi juga efektif terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan kebencanaan, sikap, dan kesiapsiagaan komunitas di lembaga pendidikan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa integrasi kurikulum pendidikan kebencanaan & perangkat pembelajaran kebencanaan, dapat meningkatkan kompetensi kesiapsiagaan. Kegiatan perencanaan dan perancangan kurikulum pendidikan kebencanaan, serta penerapannya dalam peningkatan kompetensi kesiapsiagaan melalui pendidikan dan pelatihan/simulasi dapat dilakukan secara komperehensif.
