Sessions in Block 7
Global training demand exceeded the classroom capacity required to enable enough technicians to rebuild critical vehicle components. eLearning fell short transferring the "hands on skills" required for the job, but travel by instructors to remote locations was proving too expensive and inefficient. A better solution was needed.

Concurrent Session
Augmented reality is a powerful tool that can help your team achieve learning goals in a meaningful and hands-on way. But within the L&D field, there's a lot of misunderstanding about what exactly AR can do and how it can be implemented. And this can make it a challenge get everyone at your organization—and even just your team— on board with what you need to know to make an augmented reality learning program a success.

Concurrent Session
We currently have a trillion-dollar problem in healthcare; 47 million people live with dementia worldwide, and this number is growing rapidly (World Alzheimer Report, 2016). What if we could reduce these costs by changing the way we approach customer service for our clients? Evidence shows that if we are able to make each client’s experience more personalized by providing in-the-moment performance support to our staff, we can be more effective and efficient. If we can provide our staff the ability to use their mobile devices to see the customer's care preferences, life history, favorite music, hobbies, and more on demand, we can provide that personalized care. Now, what if we could solve these problems with an elegantly simple solution leveraging augmented reality?

Concurrent Session

Track: AR & VR
Focus: Augmented Reality, Simulations, Virtual Reality
3-D content is phenomenally cool—from basic polygonal models to full human-like characters, buildings, vehicles, and even complete environments. Because 3-D content has historically taken vast resources (i.e., time and money) to create, 3-D resources are often relegated to video games, simulations, and/or VR only. However, creating, editing, or obtaining 3-D models for everyday use in eLearning doesn’t have to be cost-prohibitive or take a lot of time.
