Collaborative learning & serious game development

• This paper presents the overall Learning, Training and Mentoring Framework as developed as part of the MASCA project. The key focus of the framework is on the establishment of a collaborative learning framework and an integrated learning package that focuses on supporting continuous performance improvement and learning (competency and capability at all levels) and ensuring that this overall learning is fully aligned to the strategic blueprint of the organization. One of the key outputs of the Learning, Training and Mentoring Framework was the development of a Serious Game called Skyboard. The development of Skyboard was based upon a training needs analysis and an iterative development and implementation approach at a large airfield. The research found that Skyboard was an effective means of enhancing communication, collaboration and decision making across intra-organizational agencies which had to collaborate in order to implement a cross-agency change initiative. This paper includes an overview of the supporting learning theory that has emerged from the MASCA project.
