Interactive Simulation
This is part of a larger blended learning course for training whitewater raft guides. It gives training guides the ability to practice how they will react to certain features before entering a higher risk and more stressful learning environment on the river.
Project Objective
Through the implementation of this e-learning module, instructors will be able to better utilize instructional time while on the water because students will already have foundational river-rafting knowledge. The online portion of the course can serve as a prerequisite to the hands-on portion enabling the class to expedite time in the classroom and move out to the river sooner.
Learning Objectives
Identify obstacles and hazards in a river environment.
Anticipate what angle their craft should be in relation to current, obstacles, and hazards.
Utilize appropriate forward momentum in relation to angle and downstream obstacles.
Identify river features such as eddies, waves and holes.
Position their boat appropriately to eddies, waves, holes.
