TY - CPAPER AU - Peter John AU - Alison Noble AU - Naoyuki Takagi AU - Peter Björkroth AB - The workshop focuses on training SMCP-based maritime communication with the help of computer dialogue systems (aka ChatBots). The communication competencies put forth in the STCW code (chapter II, table A-II/1) are acquired by practising relevant maritime communication at the student's own individual learning pace thus catering for a student-centred education approach. On the one hand, the exercises presented in the workshop will target the compulsory part A of the SMCP in their use in communication on VHF. On the other hand, a simulated phone call challenges participants to develop an efficient communication strategy in order to obtain relevant details on a navigational accident. Response from conference participants will be used to further improve the developed exercises. In addition participants will be trained to use the ChatBot technology and exercises as teaching material in the classroom once the computer dialogues are freely available on the Internet.
