🖐🏽 Key Takeaways:
1. VR training allows for more realistic, repeatable, and immersive scenarios that more closely mimic real-life situations and experience that classroom training can't.
2. Two types of feedback that are key to designing VR training are formative and summative assessments. You want to assess skill-building in progress as well as report back the overall progress towards a performance goal.
3. Define the skills, align the decision-points, and then provide multiple pathways to the "best" solution. Employees won't get the right solution every single time, but there should be opportunities to recover "wrong" choices and get back to the same positive outcome.
