THE E-LEARNING PARTICULARITIES FOR MARITIME TRAINING AND EDUCATION. STUDY CASE ON TRAINING SIMULATOR FOR INTEGRATED SHIP MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: The technological advance recorded throughout last period, often requires the simulation of those activities associated to the higher risk professions appointed in different sectors (e.g. nuclear industry, air transports, naval transport). Therefore, in training or education processes the students are taking advantages from specific educational and teaching techniques that develop together abilities and professional competences, for which the education costs and associated risks are prohibitive one. Related to this framework, the maritime industry is a proper example, the technical and organizing complexity level specific to maritime operational systems, being considered as very high. On the other hand, the consequences associated to this kind of maritime system are immeasurable, the cases of Deep- Horizon, Erika or Prestige, being relevant from this point of view, as events from a long line of naval disasters. In order to assume the developing of functional and practical competencies, that are able to provide safety in naval technical system operation, there were created integrated simulators for navigation that are simulating a complete instruction environment, very close to practical activities worked out on board of merchant ships. This kind of simulators is offering the training options in the real facing environment of physical and psychological life on board. The Training Integrated Simulator for Ship Management that is functioning in Naval Academy “Mircea cel Batran” endowment is a good example about the manner of creating a particular virtual training resources. Considering these objectives, the proposed paperwork is approaching the relation between technical and technological evolutions recorded within international maritime transport, facing the professional and training standards imposed by the maritime sector, related to inter-active teaching systems and e-Learning techniques.
