Masduki presents at Immersive Learning Conference and Symposium - 1/13/2012

CIMES Instructional Design Coordinator, Iskandaria Masduki, will provide a Poster Presentation at the Immersive Learning Conference and Symposium, January 18-20, 2012, in New Orleans.

Her poster, "How to Convert Linear to Branching Simulation: FDOT Case Study," depicts a conceptual framework on how a linear simulation can be converted to a branching simulation.

Using the case of the web-based training project CIMES has recently completed for the Florida Department of Transportation, Masduki's poster highlights the challenges involved in developing the training and demonstrates how linear simulations can become branching simulations involving 3D virtual characters, real-world scenarios, roadway simulations, and more.

The presentation illustrates the benefits of moving beyond linear to branching simulations to actively engage trainees in their own realistic learning of complex situations and to support decision-making, planning, and problem solving.

Florida Department of Transportation Receives Cutting-Edge WBT Package from CIMES - 10/31/2011

CIMES recently delivered 12 interactive training modules to the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT). The delivery was the culmination of Phase II of a multi-phase project in which CIMES is developing extensive training for DOT Roadway Characteristics Inventory (RCI) Technicians.

This web-based training includes task-centered, scenario-based, multi-media modules and lessons using 3-D characters, animation, and simulation. The modules provide an interactive learning environment based on activities typically conducted by RCI Technicians on the job. Phase I was the research component of this project and Phase III is already underway!

CIMES Adds Scheduling Ease to Film School Portal - 10/28/2011

Continuing its development and expansion of the FSU Film School new Web portal, Motion™, CIMES creates the Crew-Grid Scheduler. The application facilitates project-based scheduling by incorporating numerous factors (projects, roles, students, dates, and project activities) into one multi-dimensional schedule.

Faculty and staff may use the Crew-Grid Scheduler to organize pre-, actual, and post-production tasks along a timeline. Benefits include flexibility of scheduling, ability to visualize activities at a particular time, alerting to potential scheduling conflicts, and saving of draft schedules until approved.
