In Training Magazine Network’s second “Learning from the Leading Edge” panel discussion we will unpack the opportunities VR can bring to learning with a case study from Daikin Applied Americas, a division of the global leader in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC).

Laura Masica, (LinkedIn profile) VP of People Experiences, and Brian Dewhirst, (LinkedIn profile) Sr. Manager of Learning Technology will share how Daikin Applied created a virtual showroom and classroom visualizing its complex and giant products.

The session is moderated by Dr. Anders Gronstedt, (LinkedIn profile) President of Gronstedt Group, which developed the VR program for Daikin.

The industrial HVAC market produces large rooftop and chiller products that are technically complex, requiring highly specialized education in scientific principles and experiential training.

Yet the sheer scale of these solutions makes them difficult to share with customers.

VR makes concepts easier to understand by visualizing the invisible, playing with scale and perspective in a completely immersive environment:

Poke your head inside a chiller and watch its inner workings from any angle. Making the products readily accessible to the sales organization is key to their ability to sell these six-and-seven-figure investments.

Introducing VR into the sales channel has been a game-changer in Daikin Applied’s sales and learning success. Leveraging cross-platform, multi-player 3D solutions from phones and giant touch screens to VR headsets allows them to bring products to engineers and customers with ease.

The panelists will explain how aligning a VR solution with business goals and leveraging across multiple business functions is crucial to leadership buy-in. Ultimately, the goal of the project was to create a VR solution to showcase a key Daikin Applied product for its marketing, sales, and training audiences.

They also wanted to establish VR as a common learning modality for exploring products, demonstrating complex concepts, learning how their designs work, and supporting the sales process.

The panelists will demo how reps and customers interact seamlessly with each other as they visualize competitive differentiators with “x-ray” vision inside the chiller.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Onboard your organization to VR as a tool, first, then showcase it as a learning modality
• Develop robust VR solutions that can be utilized for several company processes including sales presentations, sales support, talent recruiting, and learning
• Show executive leadership and the organization as a whole the value of VR
• Understand how robust VR solutions can be categorized as capital expenditures and funded as such in your organization

Oftentimes, webinars and virtual training are focused on “learning for the future.” Their goal is to present all the content so the learners will hopefully remember and apply them on the job.

Unfortunately, this method creates a big distance between knowing the concept and the time of applying the content. The consequence is that few ideas are retained and eventually applied.

Learning, for now, is another option. It enables learners to learn to apply ideas now, instantly, and immediately. The benefits are that the webinars bring immediate results at work, and the learners remember the lessons better because they have the chance to apply them “now.”

Topics to cover:

• Why are leaders pushing more for “Learning for Now?”
• What are the differences between “Learning for Now” from “Learning for the Future?”
• What are the key steps to convert presentations to more current and recent demands of the business?
• What are examples and templates of “Learning for Now” methods?
• How do you use your webinar and virtual platform to implement  “Learning for Now?”

Microlearning is designed to meet a specific learning outcome, but how can you know that your design will be effective?

One aspect to consider is the cognitive load required to process the information and activities you design.

That’s because information overload is a significant hindrance to effective learning and retention. Fortunately, we can do something about it. Over the decades, cognitive load theory has been researched and refined.

This interactive session demonstrates ways that learning designers can reduce high cognitive load during individualized and collaborative learning.

In this session, Connie will explore:

• A model of how people learn
• Different types of cognitive load
• Causes of high cognitive load
• Practical instructional strategies you can use to reduce high cognitive load
• How cognitive load affects collaborative learning

Presenter: Connie Malamed (LinkedIn profile) helps people learn and improve their instructional design skills so they can gain confidence and proficiency in this field. She has helped hundreds of people gain competence in instructional esign and I’d love to help you. Connie had her own ID business for 20 years, wrote two books on visual design, publish The eLearning Coach website and podcast, and was honored with the Guild Master award for contributions to the industry.
