Major Incident Training - Using serious games and virtual worlds for major incident training
Major incident training can be difficult and expensive using traditional methods. In this workshop we explore different approaches to solving these challenges through the use of game technology and virtual world applications. Colleagues are invited to join the hub area in major incident training at the Serious Games Institute, and help to develop a roadmap for future work in the field.
