Descripción del producto
icare and TAFE NSW developed a virtual reality training and learning experience on how to work safely at heights. Developed for construction apprentices to improve learning outcomes and instil positive changes in safety behaviours via the delivery of fully immersive VR training in conjunction with engaging online learning content. Combining engaging video and interactive content with the immersive and kinesthetic learning environment virtual reality, students were able to apply their new knowledge to simulated scenarios which highlighted the importance of recognising risks onsite and applying the correct knowledge and behaviours to ensure safe outcomes. The project was unique in that it combined social and emotional reflection activities and experiences with technical training, to link actions and decisions to short and longer-term consequences to influence changes in attitudes and behaviours.
