1. Immersive Learning
With xAPI

2. What is Immersive Learning?
• Placing users in an interactive learning
environment, replicating a real life
scenario
• Micro Learning in action!
• Learning by Doing

3. Why Immersive Learning?
• Attention Rate
Immersive learning gets 100% attention
• Retention Rate
VR Learning has shown an 80% retention rate 1 year
after training, traditional training as low as 20% after 1
week
• Engagement rate
Gamified immersive learning is “stickier” than other
forms of learning
• Freedom to Fail
Mistakes made in virtual reality are mistakes not made
in reality

4. Use cases for Immersive Learning
Customer Service
Chick-Fil-A is using CenarioVR to train front line workers on their
customer service skills. Immersive training allows front-line
employees to experience and navigate difficult interactions in a
consequence-free environment. The increased repetition enabled
by VR creates confidence and comfort when employees are faced
with a difficult situation in the actual working environment.

5. Use cases for Immersive Learning
Health Care
Vanderbilt University School of Nursing is using CenarioVR to
train nursing students on Ultrasound technology. Because of the
high cost of the equipment, students had limited time to train.
Now they master their skills in VR before they work on the
physical machine, lowering the amount of time needed to be
spent with the equipment.

6. Use cases for Immersive Learning
Safety/Inspection
AIB International uses CenarioVR to train line staff and
inspectors on sanitary and safety procedures on the production
floor. A single mistake in any process on the line can result in a
complete loss of production, so ensuring that each employee
has experienced the process before live production is vital.

7. Use cases for Immersive Learning
Onboarding
Service Titan Corporation uses CenarioVR to onboard staff at
their headquarters. New employees are introduced to the facility
and to key staff through VR to encourage them to discover all
that is offered at the facility.
