Computer aided tools for shaping of competencies of underground transport workers in coal mine
Łukasz Jaszczyk
A method of conducting training of coal mines’ workers with use of ICT such as virtual reality, Augmented Reality and RFID is presented in this monograph entitled „Computer aided tools for shaping of competencies of underground transport workers in coal mine”. The method is based on concept of mobile training facility. It allows conducting training with use of ICT in a training center, in machines manufacturer’s facility, and at user’s site. Due to use of modern ICT, increasing of trainees’ involvement in training process and increasing of their capability to assimilate knowledge is possible. The developed method allows change in conducting of training.
Mobile training facility allows conducting training with use of didactic materials based on virtual reality. Training with use of didactic materials based on virtual reality will be conducted at virtual objects which represent the real design solutions of machines and devices in a form of 3D computer models. Training with use of mobile training facility can be conducted both at machines producers’ facility and at machines users’ site. Therefore shaping of competencies isn’t limited to training centers but allows assimilation of knowledge about operation and maintenance and safe working methods at the very workplace. The main advantage of mobile training facility is possibility to use it at different working places and possibility to adapt it to different requirements dealing with available hardware infrastructure.
