DISCOVER HOW VIRTUAL REALITY SUPPORTS VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
- How to bring the world of work into the classroom.
- How to support and complement the training provision of an organisation with real-world and live environments.
- How to enhance training with annotations, assessments, and graphics in 360° virtual reality training.
- How can students gain basic industry skills and work experience and develop a skills passport for their careers?
- How to make learning more accessible and increase opportunities for diversity and inclusivity in your training.
February 28th - Introduction to Immersive Learning Webinar
Mark Paddock and Education Consultant Keith Warburton discuss the challenges of practical blended learning for vocational training and how FocusXR allows education providers to access, train and assess students in hazardous and difficult-to-access real-world 360° environments.
FIVE EXAMPLES OF PERSONALISED LEARNING
Watch the trainer demonstrate the
processes of installing isolation plugs and take readings from a
live rechargeable electrical energy storage system (REESS). The
headsets enable learners to complete 360 access to the workshop
setting, but you can also in a desktop setting you can use your
mouse to scroll around the video to change the view and see the
live REESS from the same angles as the trainer.
NB: Use the arrows in the white circle
(top right) to move the screen around with your mouse for 360°
trainers eye view and how you would see this in with a headset
on!
Participants can see a complex engineering environment by orienting trainees to a live depot at AMEX’s electrification rail project. The annotations label various building materials across the site and point out safety considerations in a 360-degree live environment that contextualises the training. The selection of building materials, the specifications, and understanding the principles and concepts for what materials are used and why. Being led through the site in 360 means trainees can understand first-hand the techniques, tolerances and requirements within the depot, the logistical considerations, and safety, and relate the specifications required to complete the work in context.
It enables learners to visually conceptualise what goes on ‘under the hood’ of complex and often unobservable processes in an enlightening way. That helps learners develop a robust, foundational knowledge of core principles.
This 360 immersive VR clip shows safety applications and orientates people to a hazardous work environment. It is better in some circumstances than being there in person because you can see the whole environment without distraction or being unable to hear the trainer, replay and learn at your own pace. Suitable for pre-orientation training, site safety, and awareness of hazardous environments.
Before trainees are immersed in a natural, live environment, learners can become familiar with technical jargon and complex equipment and visually conceptualise complicated processes with many steps in a controlled and safe environment or even their homes. The ability to stop, pause and ‘rewind’ enables learners to digest the information comfortably, allowing them to learn confidently before the live environment experience.
