Concurrent Session
Kaiser Permanente's Health Plan Workforce Development (HPWD) group, which is always striving to bring leading-edge technology to its learning solutions, believed that AR and VR delivery would be especially important in engaging and retaining younger workers over the next several years. But with its finite resources, HPWD needed to figure out how these technologies could be used most effectively. Of HPWD's many learning audiences (ranging from sales and marketing to underwriting and product support) and their disparate learning needs, which would truly benefit from AR or VR delivery? And how should initial, proof-of-concept forays into these technologies be targeted?
