Abstract:
The use of video games, interactive tools and technological platforms for
educational purposes has become a major trend in contemporary society. Research has
shown that the gaming component has a major implication on a student’s learning
process, supporting intellectual, emotional and social wellbeing. (Kiryakova et al., 2014).
Is this the same for professional training? To what extent can these techniques be
applied to train security forces – i.e. Law Enforcement Agencies and Intelligence
Agencies? This article analyses the potential of Blended Virtual Reality Solutions to train
professionals in the security sector, showcasing the VR training experience developed by
Rex Te.ch. in cooperation with Agenfor International within the EU-funded project JSAFE
(Judicial Strategy Against all Forms of Violent Extremism in Prison, Grant No. 763714),
designed to counter radicalisation processes in prison and to enhance situational
awareness.
Keywords: Blended learning model, Virtual Reality, Netgame, prison
radicalisation, digital forensics, situational awareness.
