VR FOR CHEMICAL TECHNICIANS’ TRAINING
Together with Cornelsen eCademy and Currenta, we have developed a comprehensive blended learning scenario for chemical technicians. It consists of both theoretical e-learning segments and practical VR training. In total, it includes several hours of content that prepares the trainees for their real-life tasks.
PARTNER
We have been developing this application since 2020 in close and continuous collaboration with our partners Cornelsen eCademy/inside and Currenta.
CONTENT
STRUCTURE E-LEARNING
Basic knowledge:
- Basic knowledge for working on chemical plants, processes and workflows.
Preparation VR experiments:
- Explanation of the experimental procedure
- Exercises for knowledge transfer from flow diagram to virtual chemical plant
- Final test on work sequence
STRUCTURE VR
Plant briefing:
- Quiz to explain the plant
Experiment 1:
- Safety position
- Filling the stirring tank
- Heating the stirring tank
- Emptying the stirring tank
Experiment 2:
- Changeover to steam heating
- Distillation with reflux
- Cooling down
- Put plant to safety position
VR FOR TRAINING
With the blended learning approach in training, trainees have many advantages. Many trainees have great difficulty in the transition from theory to practice: the transfer of knowledge is difficult, and many trainees are insecure. In VR, they are now interactively prepared for the real plants: they get a better comprehension (e.g. through insights into the equipment) and can already gain practical experience without being afraid of possibly damaging something.
According to different studies, VR trainings are an affordable way for faster training with better results compared to convential trainings. The key results in a PWC study on VR trainings in soft skills:
