This thesis covers the development for an online course about the Convention on the International Regulation for Preventing Collisions at sea, in short ColRegs or Rules of the Road.
In times of a pandemic, we switch more and more to distance education. In the maritime sector as well. The thesis shows a way for maritime schools to build an online course based on WordPress with the learning management system Sensei. The course comes accompanied with 40 short videos to explain the Rules.
Emphasis lies on the fact that videos that explain every rule are an important part in modern asynchronous distance education, but videos alone don’t teach the students enough. The lessons around them are important. Online lessons differ naturally from lessons given offline.
Where the classroom situation is missing and direct feedback is not given, the students need the possibility to self-check their knowledge in a database of about 230 questions about the Rules.
A final test at the end of the course will prove that it is possible to teach the ColRegs purely online. This thesis covers the development for an online course about the Convention on the International Regulation for Preventing Collisions at sea, in short ColRegs or Rules of the Road.
