Abstract:
The integration of Information Systems (IS) in Maritime Education and Training (MET) is revolutionizing the industry by enhancing educational delivery and operational efficiency. Intensive literature review on the current state of the effectiveness of Information Systems (IS) technologies in enhancing educational outcomes, the barriers hindering their widespread adoption, and emerging trends shaping the future of maritime training was done finding out that IS technologies have demonstrated significant effectiveness in enhancing MET through simulation-based learning and e-learning platforms, offering flexible and accessible training opportunities. However, challenges such as high implementation costs and technological adaptation barriers persist. The literature identified these challenges and emphasized the need for further research to address them. Emerging trends in IS, including Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), were found to present promising opportunities for innovation in MET. In the future, research must be carried out on the investigation of the effectiveness of emerging technologies such as AR, and VR in enhancing maritime training.
