Go beyond traditional training methods by integrating cutting-edge immersive experiences like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) into your learning programs. The GFoundry platform is built to not only deliver these experiences but also to track, manage, and gamify them within your broader training ecosystem.
Why Use VR & AR in Your Training?
Immersive technologies are a powerful tool for talent development because they offer unique benefits:
Realistic Practice in a Safe Environment: Allow employees to practice complex or high-stakes tasks (like technical procedures or difficult conversations) in a realistic simulation without real-world risk.
Increased Engagement and Retention: The immersive and interactive nature of VR/AR leads to higher levels of user engagement and has been shown to significantly improve knowledge retention compared to traditional methods.
Objective Skill Assessment: Track user actions, decisions, and performance within the simulation to get objective, data-driven insights into their skills and competencies.
How GFoundry Manages Immersive Experiences
GFoundry acts as the central hub to deliver and make sense of your immersive training initiatives.
As a Content Block or Goal: A VR/AR simulation can be seamlessly added as a content block within a standard course ("Learn Content") or as a key Goal within a larger Mission. This allows you to place a highly interactive simulation alongside other content like videos, quizzes, and articles.
Tracking and Reporting: The GFoundry engine tracks the completion, time spent, and results of the immersive experience. This data is fully integrated into our reporting dashboards, allowing you to monitor progress alongside all other training activities.
Gamification Engine: Connect the completion of VR/AR modules to your wider gamification strategy. Award points, badges, or even certificates automatically when an employee successfully finishes a simulation, tying their achievement directly to the GFoundry platform's motivation and reward system.
How to Add a VR/AR Experience
While the specifics can vary based on the technology, the process generally follows these steps:
Prepare Your Immersive Content: Your VR/AR experience is typically a self-contained application or a web-based module with a unique URL.
Add the Content Block: Within the
Content Managementsection of your course, select the option to add VR/AR or external content.Configure the Block: Provide the necessary link or integration details that point to your hosted immersive experience.
Save and Publish: Once saved, the block will appear as part of your course structure, allowing users to launch the simulation directly from their learning path in GFoundry.
By integrating VR and AR, you can take your training programs to the next level, and GFoundry provides the framework to manage, track, and reward these advanced experiences seamlessly.
