5 Important Considerations Before You Design Virtual Reality (VR) Training

$499 - 60min

VR has been gaining traction within learning and development (L&D) as it enables the creation of realistic, immersive learning experiences. However, while VR serves as a highly effective learning solution in certain contexts, it is not always the optimal choice. Therefore, it is crucial to consider various factors before deciding to implement VR learning content.

In this presentation, you’ll learn:

  1. How to identify whether their use case is well suited for virtual reality and determine how the VR learning solution will be implemented

  2. How to approach VR design with a learning science lens

  3. How to plan the processes and personnel involved in designing and developing a VR solution


Building Better VR Solutions with Learning Engineering Practices

$499 - 60min | $750 - 90min

Through data-driven, human-centered learning experience design and decision-making by way of learning sciences, design-based research, and learning analytics, Learning Engineering helps us build better VR learning experiences. By leveraging Learning Engineering practices, you will be able to design highly impactful VR learning solutions that propel the behavior change you wish to see.

In this presentation, you’ll learn:

  1. What Learning Engineering is, the processes and practices involved, and how they can be applied to the design and iterative development of VR learning solutions.

  2. How you can apply the learning sciences and human-centered engineering design methodologies to the design and development of your VR learning solutions. 

  3. How you can use modeling to craft a comprehensive view of the learner and their environment, which helps set the foundation for initial design and subsequent data-informed iterations of your VR learning experience.

  4. How you can use instrumentation to gain insights about the immersive experience, and product efficacy to make data-driven decisions to improve your learning design.


How Real is Real Enough for Virtual Reality

$499 - 60min

The growing demand for virtual reality training is leading many learning design practitioners to want to broaden their repertoire to include designing for VR. The shift to designing for VR requires learning designers to think differently about the design process, as the 3D environment offers new opportunities for creating immersive and interactive learning experiences. Learning designers must now consider the unique affordances and constraints of designing in a 3D environment. It is imperative for instructional designers to adapt their skillset and learn how to think in 3D when beginning to design for VR.

In this presentation, you’ll learn:

  1. The unique considerations involved in designing learning experiences in VR

  2. How to adapt your skillset and learn how to think in 3D

  3. How to apply instructional design principles and practices to the creation of engaging and effective learning experiences in VR.
