ABSTRACT
In the maritime domain proper training is vital as most operations are highly demanding and safety critical. This underlines the importance of training, which is why offshore industry uses advanced training tools like modern simulators. Familiarization of procedures is an important first step and many introductory courses are geared towards this. A study in the medical domain showed that experts and novices have very different view patterns that directly affect individual performance (Law, 2004). So we believe, recording experts’ visual attentions and showing it to novices will enhance the training experience and accelerate their familiarization process. The first aim of this study is to assess the utility of including videos of experts in the instruction material during the familiarization of operational procedures. The second aim of this study is to assess the utility to the familiarization process by including eye tracking data in the video.
