The world is currently undergoing a rapid digital transformation and educational institutions and systems must inevitably adapt accordingly.
This involves both the promotion of innovation and improved technologisation of education as well as the modernisation of curricula.
Traditional face-to-face learning in classrooms or conference halls has long been a thing of the past. Interactive training and digital training, on the other hand, are the buzzwords of the moment.
The name Training 4.0 is derived from the fourth industrial revolution and stands for the intelligent networking of machines and processes with the help of information and communication technology. This refers to new production and value creation methods as well as optimization in real-time with the support of new technologies.
Important digitization and Industry 4.0 elements and include, for example, the Internet of Things (IoT).
In Training 4.0, the curriculum is organized outside the regular classroom using engaging audiovisual media or even games. And that's not all: in recent years, the use of immersive and interactive educational technologies such as virtual and augmented reality in eLearning has increased significantly and made vocational education and training more dynamic than ever before.

VR uses computer technology to create a virtual environment that replicates the stimuli of the physical world. This allows users to interact with it in real-time. Thanks to this type of immersion in reality, the experiences in the VR world come closer to reality with the help of immersive graphic content and sound.
With the help of VR headsets and spatial audio, users can fully immerse themselves in the virtual world during training.
By mimicking the principle of human perception, VR provides a space in which users can move or track movements on the screen and change positions using the VR equipment.
Real-time interaction on the screen provides a sense of immersion and immersion of the user in the VR system with the help of sensor-based technology.
Virtual and Augmented Reality can be used in a variety of ways for corporate training. Virtual reality comes closest to an immersive experience and enables meaningful experiential learning that develops soft skills and leadership development as well as more complex technical skills and processes. These include:
Company training and further education
Soft skills
Occupational health and safety
Digital onboarding
In-company training with digital learning media can make education more accessible and convenient for both teachers and learners. Potential challenges must be recognised and trainees must be given the necessary tools. With a suitable structure and the right technology, companies are well prepared to prepare trainees for their future work activities.
To successfully digitalize in-company training, training practices must be adapted to the new challenges.
It is a good idea to involve trainees in digitalization projects. Digital natives have grown up with digital media and can contribute their own experience and expertise.
Companies usually have a large network of customers or associations that often face the same challenges and may already be one step ahead in eLearning.
Teachers should be familiar with the digitization trends in their sector and the know-how for Industry 4.0. This includes new machine functions and important application programs.
Thanks to our learning platform 3spin Learning, organizations do not need to have any programming skills to create virtual realities. Instead, organizations can work directly with the authoring tool and benefit from unlimited flexibility.
This enables organizations to successfully develop VR and AR training courses that are not only significantly more powerful than traditional training methods, but above all more engaging. We look forward to supporting your company on the path to Training 4.0 and our team of experts is always on hand to help.
