• Description:
  Following a multiyear research and development effort, we have created the Learn with Harry suite of "serious games," which is based on scholarly research into how adults best learn the complex nature of mining safety. These games emphasize high user engagement, critical thinking, customization, and evaluation. The Learn with Harry suite currently includes three games: Harry's Hard Choices, covering mine emergency response, Harry's Hazardous Day, covering hazards recognition and workplace examination, and Harry's Fatalgram Simulator, covering refresher fatalgrams and MSHA best practices. In this talk, we discuss the evolutionary development of Learn with Harry, aligning new game capabilities with mine operator needs. The game suite is currently being deployed and evaluated through an early adopter program. Industry feedback and training experiences will be discussed. [Description provided by NIOSH]
