Simulation-based education is a primary means of teaching technical and non-technical skills in many industries , particularly in safety-critical domains , such as health , civil aviation , and defence . This trend is now extending into all areas of education through the use of XR .
Veteran and new defence-industry SMEs need high-level , accredited training that can be used as recognition of prior learning ( RPL ) towards postgraduate study if desired , easing the path into higher qualifications and lifelong learning .
UNSW ’ s short courses , ‘ Immersive Technology for Simulation-Based Educators ’ and ‘ Learning Science for Simulation-Based Educators ’, provide a foundation for professional simulation developers , instructional designers , and instructors . The courses help them to understand immersive technology systems for learning and how they are best deployed in the development and execution of simulationbased curricula .
The courses can be taken alone or stacked as microcredentials towards postgraduate study in the Graduate Certificate or Master of Simulation and Immersive Technology Systems .
