Press Release: Second Life and Aviation Training Innovations

At Aviation Industry CBT Committee (AICC) meetings in Stuttgart, Germany, Aeroflot demonstrated innovative use of Second Life to support aviation training. Meeting sessions addressed many emerging technologies for training and advances in learning technology standards as applied to aviation.

Additional presentations by leading researchers and innovative suppliers addressed social learning, international technology standards for training, and solutions for emerging issues facing the aviation community. Aeroflot demonstrated live users of Second Life interacting with each other and natural language processing chat bots to refine radio communications and ICAO English for pilots. Many AICC presentations like this have direct applications in the larger Learning, Education and Training (LET) community.

A link to the meeting minutes and presentations from the Stuttgart sessions can be found on the AICC Meeting Information page, along with information on past and upcoming meetings.

UPDATE November 16, 2009: In collaboration with the Halldale Media Group, the AICC will be meeting in conjunction with WATS 2010 during April in Orlando. Anyone interested in aviation training and training technology is welcome to attend or to join the AICC.

    It is a very difficult subject to implement the Second life based training. The question which has arisen in Aeroflot is the advantages of Second life based English training in comparison with web conferencies and virtual classes based on web cameras and, for example, Skype. I know only one comparison which is in forterrainc.org site. It is very important for me to know different opinions about this subject.

    Olga, Thank you very much for your comments and elaboration. The presenation was very informative, and also fun. AICC has been fortunate enough to have a presentation and demonstration in Hamburg by Forterra. Unfortunately, there were difficulties and Linden Labs wasn't able to participate at that meeting. Additional information, comparative data, case studies, and research are all very helpful.

    I'm sure AICC would welcome Forterra, Linden Labs or others who are interested in participating and sharing at AICC and WATS during the Spring 2010 event in Orlando, Florida, USA. Those interested in presenting can send email to presentations@aicc.org.
