Using VR for Learning
A journey of simulations to slowly build up skill proficency. VR as a medium for transformation.
In a nutshell
We maximize the user transformation powers of "VR as a medium".
By strategic construction of learning journeys, design simulations and employment of gameful activities to effectively drive behavioural transformation.
The theoretical inspirations
- Post-phenomenology. See paper from Vindenes & Wasson (2021)
- Roleplaying and Complexity. See Ralph Stacey's Strategic Management and Organisational Dynamics (2015).
- Kubler-Ross change curve + Dreyfuss Skill Development model.
- Cynefin framework of complexity in decisions taking.
- Albert Bandura's Social Learning + Psychodrama
- Kolb's reflection learning model.
- Gameful Design: Flow in game experience.
What are some of the results
- Covered all the basics of an L&D Solution – Learning experts mentioned how the tool covers all the basics necessary for a training. From basic introductions to different testing techniques, most of the common requirements are easy to implement.
- Easy to use VR - 95% of our users highlighted the easiness to use our product. The audience covered all key demographics and cultural background.
- Safe but with considerations on Data - Everyone saw the importance the tool brings to practice without real-life consequences. There were mix opinions about the collection of data, hence for the first stages we will limit this feature.
We want to keep pushing the boundaries on VR story design.
Through our learning journeys we have explored the many facets of how to construct narratives, playing with different archetypes, objectives and gaming mechanics.
The long term objective is to have the best story architectures that match a learning journey. In simple words, we explore the answer, how many simulations are needed for one to develop a specific skill?
Each simulation varies on emotional intensity and cognitive challenge, while some of them are mostly to build familiarity, others are more demanding on the user to take decisions, it is this combination that builds long term retention and confidence in execution.
This is an exciting journey not only for the learning and developing field, but for VR as well.
We are happy to discuss with you!
