2. Training Example:
Operator Generic Fundamentals (GFE)
Today’s GFE Training
Possible GFE Training
• Instructor led training
• Textbooks, lectures and
presentation based
• Conducted at 30 plants each year
• Ten weeks of training
• One instructor (or more)
• Twelve instructor-years each year
• Cost estimate >$3M each year
• Engaging eLearning* available
anytime / anywhere
• Re-useable learning content for EN,
MA, RP, indoc, etc.
• Instructor help line with local mentor
• Two instructor-years plus other
workers
• Cost estimate <$1M each year
*Engaging eLearning includes simulations, video clips, 2D and 3D. Tests are
frequent and an LMS tracks student performance closely.

7. Enabling Technologies Off-the-Shelf
Augmented Reality Glasses
Smartphone / Tablet AR
Body Control / Touch Free
This year there will be more
smart phones than PC’s (470
million vs. 440 million sold in
2011).
In the near future,
augmented reality
glasses will be mass
deployed in millions
(initially for gaming).
Microsoft sold 10
million Kinects in 4
months
3D Projectors / 3D Displays
>20 million 3D displays sold

8. Advancing Learning for the
Nuclear Industry
• Satisfy student expectations by using advanced
learning
• Improved results using advanced learning techniques
• Technology supports visualization of complex
equipment and systems
• Advanced learning may be cost effective
• Advanced learning methods can be done anywhere,
anytime
• Advanced learning methods can be connected to LMS
for better instructor monitoring
