Where are VR assessments most successful?
VR assessments can be used successfully for any training where mastery for the following situations is required:
- A non-negotiable outcome, when failure to master and apply learning could have disastrous consequences, including loss of life.
- A highly expensive and complex situation or process to reproduce, where all candidates get a consistent experience.
VR learning and assessment is one of the most effective solutions for the Modern Workforce Learning (MWL) methodologies for ensuring that learning takes place. It is based on a performance improvement process, where VR assessment promotes confidence and allows learners to demonstrate their abilities.
How can VR help identify areas of improvement
VR helps:
- Encourage reflection so learners know what they did well and how they can improve; and
- Stimulate understanding and fills in knowledge gaps.
The VR learning and assessment process can support the learner to mastery prior to attempting the real-life situation, it can support filling in any gaps in their knowledge by setting up objectives that learners need to meet.
