FAQ
What is Interplay Learning's training for schools?
Interplay Learning’s immersive, simulation-based training prepares students for a career in the skilled trades. Using online modules, videos, 3D simulations, and knowledge checks, learners master core concepts and safety principles while virtually practicing hands-on troubleshooting, maintenance and repairs.
Designed to be flexible, Interplay Learning’s training can support programs that run full-time or part-time depending on the needs of your students. Available pathways for the skilled trades include HVAC, facilities maintenance, industrial maintenance, multi-family maintenance, crane and rigging, and more.
Can 3D and VR simulations replicate real-world lab or job-site training in the skilled trades?
3D and VR simulations are a great tool for supplementing and enhancing real-world troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance. Interplay Learning’s simulations offer realistic scenarios for skills practice with immersive settings and real-time feedback. Starting with 3D and VR simulations improves safety, optimizes instructor time, and reduces resource constraints. Students using Interplay Learning say that unlimited practice on simulations helps them master techniques safely and learn from early mistakes.
How do 3D and VR simulations improve student engagement and learning outcomes?
Today’s students want an education that’s experiential, and traditional delivery methods often fall short. 3D and VR simulations engage students through multi-modal learning (audio, visual, kinesthetic) that connects with all learning styles and appeals to Gen Z learners.
By leading with interactive experiences, simulation-based training, like Interplay Learning, lets students construct their own learning journey and apply curriculum concepts from day one..
How can simulation-based training align with an existing curriculum or LMS?
Interplay Learning offers over 500 hours of trades coursework with customizable learning pathways, LMS integration, and curriculum mapping for educational institutions.
3D and VR simulations enhance and supplement an existing trades curriculum and meet experiential learning goals. Several applications for simulations include using them as pre-work, in-class activities, labs, or assessments. For integration stories and instructor perspectives, access our guide to 3D simulations in the classroom.
What are the costs and technology requirements for scaling 3D and VR training in education?
Growing your program with 3D and VR simulations requires an initial investment, but offers a long-term ramp to a scalable program. Interplay Learning’s 3D simulations are cloud-based and can be run on a wide range of devices, from tabletsto desktops, meaning you may already own the equipment you need.
To calculate your technology ROI, measure your upfront and ongoing costs for software and hardware. Next, calculate the anticipated cost savings for consumable materials and physical space, and expended additional revenue from expanded enrollment.
