A VR meeting room can provide a setting for a trainer-led workshop when its presentation and discussion tools fit the lesson. It is different from commissioning a bespoke training simulation. Begin with the learning objective and design an activity that the supported room can deliver.
Choose an appropriate objective
A discussion of a workplace scenario, a review of a proposal or an explanation followed by questions may suit a shared room. Practical skills requiring physical equipment need a different plan. Do not assume a virtual setting recreates hands-on experience.
Prepare a small sequence
Introduce the task, show readable material and let learners explain their decisions. Keep activities short enough for people to follow comfortably. Give participants a separate introduction to the headset and room before assessing learning.
Check participation arrangements
Confirm the equipment, accounts and simultaneous access required. Plan how learners ask questions and how you notice someone needs help. Use another route where VR is unsuitable. A trainer still needs to facilitate the session rather than relying on the environment to create engagement.
Evaluate what learners understand
Use a relevant task or discussion afterwards to check understanding. Ask about comfort and clarity as well as enjoyment. OowOah VR Meeting Rooms can support a suitable workshop, while purpose-built simulations, automated assessment or specialist training content need their own confirmed requirements.
