Abstract |
Despite the undeniable value of computer games as educational resources for teaching children, its actual application in educational processes is hampered due the complexity of their design and the high cost of developing them. In order to foster their adoption for emergency training, we propose a model for describing the different elements of an educational game for this domain. The model might serve to support the game designing process as well as a communication tool between educators and game designers. This way, the educator can specify the requirements of the educational experience he aims to construct, and based on that information the game designer can propose a set of possible configurations of the game elements that can help to attain the specified objectives. |

Abstract |
Federal, State, and local decision makers and public health officials must prepare and exercise complex plans to contend with a variety of possible mass casualty events, such as pandemic influenza. Through the provision of quick look tools (QLTs) focused on mass casualty events, such planning can be done with higher accuracy and more realism through the combination of interactive simulation and visualization in these tools. If an event happens, the QLTs can then be employed to rapidly assess and execute alternative mitigation strategies, and thereby minimize casualties. This can be achieved by conducting numerous “what-if” assessments prior to any event in order to assess potential health impacts (e.g., number of sick individuals), required community resources (e.g., vaccinations and hospital beds), and optimal mitigative decision strategies (e.g., school closures) during the course of a pandemic. In this presentation, we overview and demonstrate a pandemic influenza QLT, discuss some of the modeling methods and construct and visual analytic components and interface, and outline additional development concepts. These include the incorporation of a user selectable infectious disease palette, simultaneous visualization of decision alternatives, additional resource elements associated with emergency response (e.g., first responders and medical professionals), and provisions for other potential disaster events. |

Abstract |
The main focus of the preparing electronic portal “eSEC – Competency Based e-portal of Security and Safety Engineering” – eSEC-portal, is to establish web system, which would be new tool in process of learning for students and professionals in fields focusing on security studies, safety studies and crisis management. eSEC-portal aims on preparing connections among students, teachers, professionals and experts. This interface will bring qualitative improvement for learning process of students and we suppose more activities from them in professional and scientific work. Students will have possibility to compare actual questions and problems on other institutions, in scientific and professional environment. Teachers will be able to get feedback from professionals, colleagues and students. Through the e-portal will increase the employability of the e-portal users by directly linking competencies required by employers with competencies which are available for students on the e-portal and which are not a part of the educational system. |
