Abstract

This paper proposes a series of generalised guidelines to advise the design of 3D, problem-based learning environments. These guidelines were established during the course of a Ph. D study involving the application of the Simulation, User, and Problem-based Learning (SUPL) Design Framework to resolve real world learning and training requirements. The Fires in Underground Mines Evacuation Simulator (FUMES) was developed using the SUPL Design Framework to train underground mining personnel in emergency evacuation procedures. Analysis of participant performance led to the identification of thirty-nine generalisable design guidelines for developing 3D problem-based learning environments. The findings also emphasised the need to design learning environments to meet the learning needs of users rather than merely as static simulations of real world problems.
