The need to turn off the PowerPoint, get out of the classroom, and into the field for hands-on training.- Some of the challenges associated with electronic learning.
- The benefits of demonstrating skills during scenario-based evolutions.
- The need to perform high fidelity training, combining all the practical skills together in complete practice scenarios.
- The use of task books to track skill development.
- Challenges with creating realism with gas-fired firefighting props.
