Learning Management Systems (LMS) are crucial in providing information and assessments for learners. However, LMS technology has limitations regarding hands-on learning and skill development. This is where experiential learning and real-time observation come into play. By incorporating Augmented Reality (AR) technology, organisations can offer immersive experiences that allow learners to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world situations. Discover the importance of transforming habits with experiential learning and real-time observation across training and skills development through integration with an LMS, creating a comprehensive and effective training solution.

Experiential Learning and Real-Time Observation

Experiential learning applications like Augment Reality (AR) technology provide learners with interactive and immersive learning beyond traditional teach-and-test methods. These experiences enable learners to apply their knowledge and skills in the flow of work, leading to improved performance and habit transformation. In addition, AR technology offers real-time feedback and guidance, which helps reinforce positive habits and facilitates the acceptance of change. As a result, experiential learning through AR technology boosts knowledge retention, engagement, and performance compared to traditional online training checklists alone.

Experiential Learning Integration (LMS) 

Organisations must combine theory, knowledge, and observational learning to create a comprehensive training program. Experiential learning through AR technology fills the missing piece in the learning ecosystem. While an LMS provides a solid knowledge and theory foundation, incorporating experiential learning allows for hands-on training and skill development. Learners can apply their knowledge and skills in real-world contexts, receiving real-time feedback and guidance. As a result, organisations can optimise learning outcomes and achieve success by integrating experiential learning technology with a Learning Management System (LMS).

Effectiveness of Experiential Learning and AR Technology 

Numerous studies have highlighted the benefits of experiential learning and AR technology in training. Claiming, on average, learners using AR technology had four times higher retention rates than those receiving traditional classroom training. Additionally, there are reports that training professionals observed positive impacts on learning outcomes through AR technology, with an increase in retention rates.

Real-Time Guidance and Risk Reduction

A compelling advantage of AR technology for experiential learning is the ability to provide real-time guidance during tasks. Remote over-the-shoulder coaching allows learners to immediately apply what they've learned, receive feedback, and make necessary adjustments. As a result, employees who receive on-the-job coaching are more productive than those undergoing traditional classroom training. Furthermore, experiential learning through AR technology helps reduce the risk of errors and accidents. Companies that utilised AR technology for safety training experienced a reduction in safety incidents compared to traditional methods.

Scalable Training for a Remote Workforce

Experiential learning with AR technology offers a scalable solution for training a remote workforce. Employees can access training materials and receive coaching from anywhere worldwide, eliminating the need for costly travel. This is particularly beneficial for industries like mining, oil & gas, healthcare, and manufacturing, where remote workers must receive training on complex equipment and procedures in regulated environments.

Real-Time Observation and Experiential Learning

Apart from improving knowledge retention and reducing risks, real-time observation and experiential learning through AR technology offer additional benefits for organisations. By integrating human resource motion data with machine data, organisations gain insights into employee interactions with equipment and processes, improving productivity, safety, and product enhancements. AR technology enables data collection on employee performance and identifies areas for additional training or support. This data-driven approach optimises training programs, reduces equipment stress, and enhances preventive maintenance cycles, resulting in cost savings and improved efficiency.

Experiential learning and real-time observation through AR technology fill the missing piece in traditional LMS methodologies. By incorporating these powerful tools into a comprehensive training program, organisations can achieve higher engagement, improved performance, increased knowledge retention, and enhanced transfer of learning. Furthermore, organisations benefit from reduced risks, scalable training for remote workforces, and valuable insights for process optimisation. Embracing experiential learning and AR technology is a game-changer in the training landscape, driving success for both learners and organisations.
