The aim of this thesis is to implement an aeronautical procedure on the commercial Learning Management System (LMS) platform Quiddis Joint, with the support of an accurate 3D model of the aircraft, in order to enable the introduction to the procedures training. This feature will be then included in the Pilot personnel training carried out through Computer Based Training. For this purpose, a demonstrative lesson based on the engine start up procedure of the Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat was designed, in which the procedure is first explained through a first-person guided approach inside the cockpit, by a virtual instructor, and then repeated in an autonomous mode, where the student will have to complete it without external help. The topic was researched in the interest of Grammelot Srl, an Italian ICT consulting company, located in Milan, which works on eLearning and training solutions in the technical field. Moreover, during the development, further uses of the interactive 3D model of the aircraft within the LMS platform were evaluated to test its potential. For demonstrative purposes, an interactive digital mock-up of the aircraft was therefore created, in which a general overview of it is presented, having the opportunity to actively interact with its components changing their configuration and viewing the associated description. Despite the time and the complexity in the prototype realization, the difficulties encountered in the availability of an accurate 3D model of the aircraft and its management within the LMS platform, the final prototype seems to satisfy the initial reasons that led to this research.
L'obiettivo finale di questa tesi è quello di implementare una procedura aeronautica sulla piattaforma Learning Management System (LMS) Quiddis Joint, con l'ausilio di un modello 3D accurato del velivolo, in modo da permettere l'introduzione all'addestramento alle procedure. Tale funzionalità andrà poi inserita all'interno della formazione del personale piloti effettuata tramite Computer Based Training. A tali fini è stata creata una lezione dimostrativa basata sulla procedura di avviamento motori del Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat, in cui la procedura viene prima spiegata tramite un approccio guidato in prima persona all'interno del cockpit e poi riproposta in una modalità autonoma, dove lo studente dovrà agire senza aiuti esterni. L'argomento è stato approfondito nell'interesse di Grammelot Srl, società italiana di consulenza ICT, con sede a Milano, che si occupa di soluzioni di eLearning e formazione in ambito tecnico. Inoltre, durante lo svilluppo sono stati valutati ulteriori utilizzi del modello 3D interattivo del velivolo all'interno della piattaforma LMS per testarne le potenzialità. A fini dimostrativi è stato quindi realizzato un mock-up digitale interattivo del velivolo, in cui è presentata una sua panoramica generale avendo la possibilità di interagire attivamente con i suoi componenti cambiandone la configurazione e visualizzando la relativa descrizione. Nonostante i tempi e complessità di realizzazione del prototipo e le difficoltà riscontrate nella disponibilità di un modello 3D accurata del velivolo e della sua gestione all'interno della piattaforma LMS, il prototipo finale sembra soddisfare le ragioni iniziali che hanno spinto a questa ricerca.

Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to implement an aeronautical procedure on the commercial Learning Management System (LMS) platform Quiddis Joint, with the support of an accurate 3D model of the aircraft, in order to enable the introduction to the procedures training. This feature will be then included in the Pilot personnel training carried out through Computer Based Training. For this purpose, a demonstrative lesson based on the engine start up procedure of the Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat was designed, in which the procedure is first explained through a first-person guided approach inside the cockpit, by a virtual instructor, and then repeated in an autonomous mode, where the student will have to complete it without external help. The topic was researched in the interest of Grammelot Srl, an Italian ICT consulting company, located in Milan, which works on eLearning and training solutions in the technical field. Moreover, during the development, further uses of the interactive 3D model of the aircraft within the LMS platform were evaluated to test its potential. For demonstrative purposes, an interactive digital mock-up of the aircraft was therefore created, in which a general overview of it is presented, having the opportunity to actively interact with its components changing their configuration and viewing the associated description. Despite the time and the complexity in the prototype realization, the difficulties encountered in the availability of an accurate 3D model of the aircraft and its management within the LMS platform, the final prototype seems to satisfy the initial reasons that led to this research.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
