How do you ensure that when multitasking is the order of the day and employee attention usually wavers between multiple deadlines to meet, learning experiences are not compromised and do ultimately meet performance goals? What are some of the tools and technologies that you need to adopt to build a worthwhile learning platform that engages learners?
An immersive learning experience is the answer to learning needs that are not fulfilled by regular learning programs. Immersive learning that is offered in a virtual world offers richer possibilities of ensuring performance goals because of its inherent inclusive nature. Over time, virtual worlds have proved to be an effective and efficient platform for delivering interactive and immersive learning experiences. Creating a virtual world for learning is highly interactive, and exploits 3D imagery and synchronous interactions, which when designed effectively can create desired cognitive and affective changes in your learner groups. Typical training and learning situations where virtual worlds have been shown to be effective are those that need a high degree of safety precautions or are quite impossible to be carried out without good training. Complex simulations involving multiple roles or team interactions are also areas that can offer remarkably faster learning curves in a virtual world setting. Though many organizations have dabbled in virtual learning environments and there is a fair amount of published research in the area, some key questions still loom large for most training departments or learning endeavors. These include the ideal platform and technology to be used, the ability to identify the various learning needs that can be met effectively and when and how to get started. This is where we can step in. Sify's Virtual World Corporate Training Solutions has successfully crafted virtual world environments for the following learning needs:
Orienting new employees to your organization is often seen by talent management gurus as the one opportunity where you can help them identify with the organization’s culture and ensure long-term productivity and loyalty. Sify specializes in using virtual worlds as a highly effective and interactive medium for employee onboarding. This is especially useful for organizations with a large inflow of employees every year and globally dispersed divisions. Virtual worlds can contribute towards:
It is mandatory for regulated organizations to ensure compliance and training often forms a significant part of compliance requirements. Sify's virtual world solutions can help organizations identify, build and deploy these trainings and be prepared for any future audits. Possible compliance trainings that SIFY can help create are in the areas of:
Virtual worlds can also be leveraged as an alternative to conduct training programs that require extreme precautions and a high degree of expertise. Many training programs, specifically in the engineering, chemical, and healthcare/pharmaceutical industries, may be high-risk due to the involvement of hazardous substances, expensive equipment, or real-world outcomes. These training programs generally involve procedures that are often too dangerous to be conducted in real life. By designing and developing simulated learning environments that involve procedural mockups and prototypes, virtual worlds can offer a very effective replacement for real-world training and apprenticeship. Collaborative Learning Games The best learning happens through the spirit of play and game where we are more unfettered and yet progress through situations because of intrinsic motivation and a desire to know more and reach the set goals. Games keep learners engaged in the activity, often through a storyline that provides an immersive, engaging, and memorable learning experience. Sify has expertise in the design and development of both single-user and multi-user virtual world games that also create meaningful learning experiences through exploration, experimentation, and collaboration. These games also consist of reusable components that can be mixed and matched with a variety of organizational learning needs and situations. Collaborative learning games deliver the following benefits:
