About this title

Synopsis

This study evaluates the impact of delivering fire investigation studies utilizing a ?reusable learning object? in the form of a CDROM with embedded virtual fire scene scenarios. The learning outcomes of four student cohorts are studied and quantitative and qualitative data collected which provides an evaluation of the students? learning experience.Preliminary evaluation of the impact of learning fire investigation skills via the online and virtual environment indicates support for this mode of learning delivery. Unique characteristics of the virtual environment in fire investigation studies are identified as providing a distinct advantage over the use of real time fire scenes for subject assessment purposes. These findings show that the use of ?reusable learning objects? in investigation studies shows promise in providing authentic learning experiences and providing foundational knowledge and skills transferable to real world situations.
