The RCS Procedures Trainer: Something Old, Something New

Abstract : A new concept for a highly versatile, very low cost procedures trainer counters the trend toward devices that are unnecessarily elaborate, too expensive and time consuming for training development, and overly restrictive in options available to the author. The trainer provides a highly interactive, self-paced training environment that captures the essence of hands-on training for perceptual and other cognitive skills. It is well-suited for training control panel and keyboard procedures, navigation, tactics, strategy, equipment familiarization, problem solving, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
