Computer-based interactive training is a powerful tool for teaching students to perform tasks which might otherwise be too expensive or dangerous to duplicate in the real world. Recent advances in computer hardware and software now make it practical and affordable to use this same technology to teach virtually anything.
Making it Better
The idea of virtual training isn't new. Flight simulators have been used for decades to train pilots for both commercial and military aviation. In fact, these systems have advanced to the point that they are now integral to both the design and operation of modern aircraft. What is new is the way we integrate high fidelity graphics into the virtual training, bringing you to a new level of realism.
The Way We Learn
Learning studies indicate that we retain 30% or less of what we see and hear, but 75% of what we practice by doing. Interactive training allows students to practice specific tasks in the same way they would in the real world – resulting in effective and lasting lessons that are applicable in the real world.
The Advantages of Virtual Training
More and more, instructors are replacing “paper and PowerPoint” with interactive training that engages the student and communicates important information faster than ever before. Interactive training offers several significant advantages:
- Students can safely learn from their mistakes
- Eliminates the need for expensive equipment or mock-ups
- Reduces the risk of damage, wear and tear on equipment
- Enables task-based, on-the-job training
- Students are more engaged and motivated
- Significantly higher retention rates
- Enables distance learning across multiple locations
- Students can be dispersed across sites, states, or countries
