Skydive chicago | Information Systems homework help

Skydive Chicago

 is one of the United States’ premier skydiving resorts, serving skydivers ranging in skills from first time jumpers to internationally competitive freefly teams. Each student in Skydive Chicago’s training program makes a series of progressive training jumps under the direct supervision of a United State Parachute Association Jumper. The training program gears each jump toward teaching one or two new skills. Jumpmasters video their student’s jumps. Students use the feedback these videos provide to identify mistakes. They often copy their videos onto a personal tape for future reference. Jumpmasters may also copy well-executed student skydives to the facility’s tape library. All students are given access to the drop zone’s training room and are encouraged to watch video clips in preparation for their next training jump. This step saves jumpmasters, who are paid per jump, considerable time. Jumpmasters also use these videos to evaluate their training method’s effectiveness (O’Brien & Marakas, 2011, pp. 39-40).
