Designing Management System for Advanced Simulations training

Abstract: When it comes to simulator training, there are two main target groups, the student and the teacher/instructor. This thesis will cover usability aspects for both of these groups when it comes to tasks related to simulator training. For the student it will mainly be about how they can interact with the interface from the simulator and how results and feedback from exercises are presented to them. For the teacher/instructor on the other hand, usability aspects for managing the students and the exercises will be addressed, along with how results and progress shall be presented in a way that is easy to grasp and understand. A redesign of the current system used to manage these issues will be preformed. Some of the aspects that the redesign will cover are usability aspects, graphical design and workflow. One of the main outcomes from this thesis is a system that supports many different levels of engagement from the user, allowing users with different background and interest to interact with the system as effortless as possible/wanted.
