The interview was completed using a MacBook Pro. Craig facilitated the interview, Evan responded. The interview was recorded live, edited and segmented by topic using Audacity. Links to the audio files can be found on http:/craighansensblog.blogspot.com/


3D Graphic Environment for simulators – in this instance a new Navy frigate engineDesigned to go on an LMS

1. Optimising to fit the delivery mode – onshore, on a boat, at home etc.

2. Created from a pedagogical perspective to encourage a methodical approach or process to problem identification and resolution

3. Accurately provides a model that can be interacted with, providing all the parts to scale and spec, able to be dismantled and put back together

3D Engine Simulator


1. Problem based scenarios that constantly change• Mathematically things can happen in simulation that might happen once in 1000 years, only in extreme or unique circumstances• Allows learners to download the simulator anywhere, anytime for new learning or refreshing learningEndless opportunities to reuse the simulation

• Facilities available for subject matter experts to interact with learners• Collaborative learning, synchronous (at the same time)• Coaching on the spot• Trouble shooting anywhere, anytime• Observation of team dynamic and assessment for promotion and training
