Introduction  

You might have seen AR/VR technology in video games like Pokémon Go or any others, but today, these immersive technologies are no longer confined to gaming. Nowadays, where COVID-19 outbreak has hit the world, and the need for social distancing has made employees work from home. AR/VR has opened a new window to provide effective learning and training to the employees.  


7 Benefits of AR/VR Technology in employee Training 


1.Face to face training environments


Employee training with virtual reality will take learning to the next level by placing learners into the virtual environment that mimics the real world. VR in corporate training forms instructors’ avatars and develops a meeting room where employees can interact with instructors in real-time. 


 

2.A better way of practicing skills


Practicing makes employees perfect and keeps them improving continuously. According to the report Practicing skills is the best way to retain knowledge compared to the discussion, lectures, or more.  It has a retention rate of 75% compared to lectures with 5% retention capabilities.   


 

3.More engaging gamification in training


Most businesses use a learning management system (LMS) that embeds gamification to provide employee training effectively. Corporate LMS for employee training utilizes gamification elements like badges, points, and rewards that keep learners engaging in the training program.



4.Qualitative eLearning assessments

Speaking of eLearning assessments, with VR/AR technology in employee training, it becomes easy to record employee performance and track the results. After completing the course, employees can view the playback and notice where they went wrong so that they can identify their strengths and weaknesses. 

 


5. Personalized online learning paths

With the help of corporate LMS, you can create personalized learning paths for each employee. Integrating LMS with AR/VR technology will enable your employee to interact with learning resources in real-time. Augmented reality in corporate training makes learners walk down a learning path like immersive video games where players go on different paths depending on performance.  



6.Interactive learning  

AR/VR technology in employee training has become a panacea for providing training to remotely working employees in this pandemic situation. It allows employees to fully step into the virtual world and immerse themselves in the learning process. It engages employees in a realistic environment which results in retention and satisfaction. 



7. Advanced Learning Analytics  

Corporate LMS can provide you detailed reports, but integrating AR/VR technology with LMS can provide you with advanced data in a precise manner. It enables you to track employees’ eye contact to gauge their interest in the learning process.  

This insightful analytics helps to gauge the employees’ engagement with exact accuracy. Thus, AR/VR technology in employee training provides tailor-made training materials to enhance benefits that boost employees to perform better.
