A safe voyage with Poseidon
This is not a story about how learning technology scales for thousands of people. It is a very particular story about how technology significantly contributes to a selected few VTS-Operators.

"Poseidon is a double treat for us. The students learning experience is enhanced and we save precious time in the simulator and that of our coaches."

It looks and acts like a simulator
Together, we created Poseidon. A learning solution that looks and acts like a simulator. A place where the student can already get familiar with real life scenarios, before entering an expensive simulator. To give Poseidon true value, we made sure that everything UX wise, looks and works just like the simulator. Poseidon actually replaces the first six runs on a simulator. This means it saves three days of expensive simulator training. To encourage learning in Poseidon, we use nautical elements like anchors and badges.
Let’s talk about
The Poseidon VTS-training
Train specific skills
As a vessel traffic service operator, you must always be alert. You need knowledge, insight and specific skills. For example, you must be thoroughly familiar with your sailing area, be able to operate the equipment skilfully and communicate clearly with the people on the water. All under pressure: you only have a few seconds to make adjustments. Because of the consequences of making mistakes, proper training for this job is crucial. Poseidon teaches VTS-trainees the specific skills they need for their job.
The power of scaffolding
In Poseidon, the student follows a determined path. Step by step they learn how to handle complex situations, and build up confidence through completing tasks, earning badges and anchors and unlocking new chapters. This way we ensure that the level of complexity only increases if the student is ready for it.
Every single excercise builts upon: remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, and evaluating. We don't tell this strategy to the students. It is implicitly incorporated into the learning solution. In the eyes of the student they go through multiple exercises, to earn their badge or reward. But when you look back you can see a clear buildup in difficulty.
A blended learning solution
The training programme for VTS-trainees is intense, they use Poseidon from day 1 and train for 4,5 months. It starts with initial training, where Poseidon is introduced. Poseidon prepares the VTS-trainee on three main elements: Topography, Operation of the simulator and Communication.
When you have reached the desired skill level in Poseidon, You start training with the simulator under guidance of a coach. After that sector training follows. This is a mix of Poseidon, the simulator and on the job training. As you can see Poseidon is designed to function in a blended way.
