Whether as an educational institute or employer, the transfer of knowledge is an important component in many areas, in which it is important to always keep it as simple and effective as possible. By using VR education, these processes can be optimized significantly. In VR, students or trainees can not only completely immerse themselves in educational content but even actively interact with it. This results in steeper learning curves and ultimately enhanced learning results.
How VR is already applied in education and trainingprograms
Here are some examples below of the incredible capabilities of VR in education and training programs, .
Police academy used VR for Training
The Dutch police academy was looking for a way to train their force for forensic investigation.
VROwl developed a Virtual Reality training program for them which can be customized for different scenarios and locations. This simulation allows them to train at a safe location without the risk of influencing a real case.
Southborough Primary school using VR in classes
This primary school wanted to use virtual reality to enhance their learning proposition. They use vr to enhance the reading experience of their students by letting them step in to the world of the pages they are reading. This way they can absorb the learning material faster and remember more of it!
"The Blue Mind uses VR to immersive students into the sea without getting wet
The Blue Mind found that virtual reality immersion opens students' minds to the threats our oceans face. By engaging learners in multi-sensory learning, The Blue Mind can effectively address the three UN Sustainable Development Goals and bring attention to our struggling oceans."
Virtual reality to educate and train
So now that you know that it works, time to show all of the areas where you could benefit from it in your organization:
Solution
Virtual reality turns lessons into journeys of discovery
Virtual reality has already revolutionized the way we learn in many schools. Teaching content can now not only be read as text but can also be experienced first-hand in virtual reality.
The use of VR leads to significantly increased student engagement. In addition, the immersive content ensures that learning can be better processed and memorized. Virtual reality can break up the entrenched processes and procedures in schools and lead them on the path toward digitization.
“Students were able to take a typical tri-fold folding board presentation to an in-depth virtual field trip. Their presentation skills were stretched by adding the VR component and the best part of this was that it was student driven!”
- Dawn Jones - St Andrew’s School
Solution
More focus and higher engagement – with virtual reality training
The use of virtual reality training, regardless of the industry, ensures that employees show higher commitment and dedication. The advantage of virtual training is that any situation can be run through in advance as many times as necessary.
Training in virtual reality increases safety in the workplace, as employees have already successfully performed a task several times in virtual reality when they perform it for the first time in real life.
