What is the AR Suite?

The AR suite, based at our head office in Worcester, is an innovative learning environment that provides a space where digital content can be brought to life. This allows learners to explore different environments and interact with activities designed around different aspects of learning.

Unlike traditional classroom settings, the suite offers greater flexibility in how content can be presented and experienced by the learner. The digital environment can be adapted to suit different subjects allowing learners to explore concepts in new ways. Connecting theoretical knowledge with practical applications.

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that combines digital content with the real world, allowing users to interact with digital information in their own physical surroundings. 

The AR Suite has opened up new possibilities for how learning experiences can be created and delivered.  

How we use the AR Suite

The AR Suite is a great opportunity to offer an exciting addition to our training programs. It helps learners to explore their subjects through practical activities and realistic scenarios.

As seen in the video, the room can be adapted to various subjects and there are many activities to choose from which can aid learning. Such as tasks to enhance functional skills.

One example of practical learning is our Level 3 Safety, Health and Environmental Technician Apprenticeship. The suite can be used to recreate workplace environments where learners explore a worksite, identify potential hazards and consider the risks associated with different scenarios.

The technology allows for activities to be adapted to compliment different course content and provides additional ways for learners to engage with what they are learning in a controlled environment.

What could we do with it?

The AR Suite opens up opportunities to explore new ways of delivering training across a range of subjects and industries. As the technology develops, we can look at how the interactive experiences could be adapted too.

What we already offer:

Health & Safety training, interactive environments to identify hazards and develop their understanding of risk assessment.

Functional Skills, gamified activities provide ways to explore English and maths.

Industry-Specific Training, learners can explore workplace situations tailored to their course.

An exciting and engaging learning environment, it breaks the barriers of classroom learning and allows users to explore for themselves!

By continuing to explore new possibilities, we can identify new ways to incorporate immersive technology into our training that reflect the changing needs of the industry.

The benefits of immersive learning

Bridging Theory and Practice

It can help learners connect the knowledge they gain throughout their course with situations they may encounter in the workplace in an interactive way.

 Developing Workplace Skills

Simulated enviroments provide opportunities to explore challenges, consider different outcomes and practise decision making.

Flexible training

It can be adapted to support different subjects and learning objectives, giving us different ways to deliver our training.

Preparing for the Future

Exploring new technologies allows us to consider innovative approaches to training and respond to the changing needs of learners, employers and the industry.

From using the AR Suite, we can continue to find new ways to make learning relevant, practical and meaningful.
