Safebridge Releases ECDIS E-Learning Course
press release
Thursday, November 17, 2011
Safebridge Announces First Release of New Online E-Learning Courses for
Type-Specific ECDIS Training and Certification.
Safebridge GmbH, an e-learning company specializing in Internet-based training
solutions for the maritime industry, today unveiled the first release of its
new online courseware for type-specific ECDIS training. The online courses will
be commercially available by the end of the year, according to Ulf Steden,
managing director of Safebridge. The company has cooperative agreements to
develop type-specific training packages built around ECDIS products from Sperry
Marine, Imtech, Transas, Raytheon Anschütz and JRC, and expects to develop
similar programs for other ECDIS suppliers in 2012.
"As the new IMO ECDIS carriage requirements come into effect in 2012,
Internet-based e-learning provides a cost-effective training tool to meet the
type-specific training requirements mandated under STCW, ISM, Port State
Control and Flag State regulations," said Steden. "While many ECDIS suppliers
offer their own type-specific training courses, it is impractical and expensive
for an officer to attend these one- or two- day courses for multiple ECDIS
vendors. With the Safebridge solution, they now have the convenience of doing
it all online with self-paced guided courseware. It also makes it easy for
officers to retrain on new equipment when moving to a ship using a different
ECDIS system and enables convenient re-certification as suppliers roll out new
versions of their ECDIS software."
The unique Safebridge training software platform combines an e-learning
component with OEM software and electronic charts (ENC). The learning process
is controlled by Learning Management Software (LMS) to provide an interactive
simulator that is true to the actual ECDIS brand being studied. "Safebridge
overcomes the inherent limitations of conventional computer-based training
programs by taking an interactive `learning-by-doing' approach to training,"
said Steden. "The best way to gain confidence on any complex piece of equipment
is to play around with the system as it operates in the real world, so we have
included a free-play component. This is the Safebridge training philosophy."
Users can log on to the Safebridge server via the Internet to access a range of
e-learning modes, including a guided tutorial, self testing with feedback and
the free play on the live system. Students are taken step by step through a
number of modules as if they were using the actual technology, and are shown
how to use each feature in various simulated scenarios. Upon successful
completion of the course, the student's online examination is graded by a
qualified instructor, and the student receives a certificate of competence."
Steden noted that Internet-based training is a very efficient use of training
resources, since it can support a scalable number of students simultaneously.
