Supporting student learning through innovative technology in the aviation classroom

Abstract

This paper reports on the implementation of the new Flight Procedures Laboratory at Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia. This computer lab has been outfitted with hardware and software to support the student learning of flight procedures in a practical, task-oriented way. Data has been collected from the first cohort of students using this computer lab with a pre- and postsurvey conducted. Student interviews were also conducted. Results from the survey as well as a description of the lab setup are included in this paper along with information about how this type of teaching facility may help our future pilots.
