Marine Learning Systems
A technical seminar by Elisabeth Dent

In a rapidly changing world, how do we make mariners safe and competent? As the workforce and climate changes, how do we make sure that the next generation of marine professionals has the best possible understanding of this role? Marine Learning Systems has developed advanced training tools that were designed–here in British Columbia– to address these very questions. That is why the Royal Canadian Navy, Coast Guard, and BC Ferries are already using our technology.

In a world where we rely on connectivity, Marine Learning Systems has created a platform that works with little to no connectivity at all. In environments like the Arctic, for example, we make sure that all mariners have access to learning materials at all times, even when out of satellite range. It is critical that we raise the level of competency beyond compliance. It is not enough just to deliver courses with the assumption that everyone is paying attention. In this talk we will discuss the philosophy and mainstays of these systems and how they support the mariner’s understanding, training, and career progression.
