ACKTEC on reshaping learning programmes digitally

ACKTEC Technologies on startup show.

Consistent reskilling of the workforce is required for economic development and advancement. Face-to-face seminars with a high facilitator-to-employee ratio have traditionally been used to accomplish this. However, this approach to learning and development (L&D) is often met with poor employee engagement and active involvement, resulting in low learning efficacy.

The use of immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) has the capacity to enhance active learning, according to current technological advancements. Because learning via experience is a key component of active learning, this might allow employees to not only acquire theoretical concepts but also improve their actual abilities.

According to a recent research, participants in the high immersion group fared three times better than those in the low immersion group. This was accomplished via virtual reality, which allows them to visualise real-world scenarios and devise realistic ways to enhance them.
