NWCG DoD NOAA Tennessee USAF		USAF - United States Air Force Military Firefighter Training Much of the land on U.S. Air Force bases worldwide is vulnerable to wildland fires. These fires could endanger natural resources and habitat, as well as buildings and other structures along the wildland-urban interface. Through the TMA vehicle, techniques.org developed courseware for the U.S. Air Force to train structural firefighters to fight wildland fires. This course is one of many that techniques.org has developed to train wildland firefighters. These courses have been developed for Web-based, blended learning, video, textbook, computer-based, and instructor-led formats. For this client, we created a multimedia course that made full use of our experience and proven adult learning theory, including: Written didactic material supported by full-motion video, still frames, detailed graphics, and animations, allowing for realistic scenarios and maximum user interactivity A range of methods to access the training content and to control the overall presentation as dictated by SCORM 2004 standards Embedded questions and exercises to allow users to assess their understanding of the course content Because firefighters usually are relatively young and often favor visual learning, we created a media-rich course that was lively and engaging. We included an interactive game, and this game format further enhanced learner retention. As a result of this course, many of the existing structural firefighters are now effectively trained to perform as wildland firefighters as well.
