Immersive Learning
Engaging your employees is a primary factor for learning and professional development. When engaged, they retain training at a higher rate and therefore increase the return on investment of your Digital Corporate Education program.
New tools, such as immersive learning technologies, can help take your training program to the next level and engage even more employees.

Immersive Learning Tools
Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality (VR) is an artificial environment (created by software engineers) that allows the user to be fully immersed in an alternative real-world experience. This option is genuinely immersive and allows the user to pick up and move objects, turn on and take apart a device, walk around a room, and interact with virtual characters.
Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) puts virtual objects into the real world.
Using individual headsets or mobile devices that support augmented reality, images appear in front of the user.
This technology is used to allow the user to explore an object and all its parts, or apply virtual labels to a piece of equipment to help them learn how to use each part of the device, for example. Think of AR as adding layers to the real world through the lens of your phone, tablet, or headset.
Video learning
Video learning captures scenarios and training environments with 360° video, to immerse the employee in an experience or location that may be difficult, expensive, or dangerous to visit in real life. Employees can view the 360° video by dragging their mouse or finger over their device (desktop or mobile) while having an immersive experience using any VR headset.

How to use immersive learning in your training program
Immersive technologies are great tools to incorporate into your training program, but we would be lying if we said that immersive learning is recommended as the one and only learning strategy for any project in any company.
By adopting a Blended Learning system, you can design a complete training program that includes the best modalities for the learning objectives you outline. Virtual reality, augmented reality, and immersive video are tools that can be used for activities, practices, and examples that can be combined with instructor-led training, e-Learning, and robust learning management systems.
