Dear eLearningDOC Community,
As the weather heats up, so do the innovative strides we're making at eLearningDOC in educational technology! Our team of skilled instructional design professionals is dedicated to a pedagogically driven design process. By collaborating closely with our clients and subject matter experts, we craft customized learning experiences that are both innovative and deeply impactful. Whether you're aiming to upskill, reskill, onboard, or train your audience, we provide customized solutions to meet your specific needs.
Our instructional design team understands that merely using advanced technology isn't sufficient for effective learning outcomes. Integrating the right approaches into our design is crucial to cater to the individual needs of learners. While tools and technology are essential for modern education, their full impact is realized only when supported by strong educational strategies. Our commitment to a sound pedagogical foundation ensures that our learning experiences resonate with learners and consistently meet their educational objectives.
This month, we are excited to announce our partnership with The Labz, a woman-owned technology firm that offers an innovative multitool for interactive web experiences and fully branded metaverses. This exciting collaboration is developing immersive learning experiences that adhere to solid educational theory and actively engage and advance learners' educational and professional ambitions.
We are excited to announce our partnership with The Labz, a woman-owned technology firm.

Blog: VR and AR for Immersive Experience Training
Johns Hopkins School of Nursing students use a VR avatar to train pre-licensure and advanced practice students in medical procedures.
How to Offer Immersive Experiences with VR and AR
How many times have you heard a variation of, “This is boooorrrrrinnnnggggg…Why do I have to learn this?” in your classroom or training session? Wouldn't you rather hear, “This is so vivid, it's like I'm there!”
There are many times when the connection between theory and practice is completely lost because the content feels dull and disconnected from the real world. This is where Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) can transform and enhance the earning experiences.
"This is so vivid, it's like I'm there!"
Praveen Kumar
Dr. Kristen Stevenson
In this blog post, Praveen Kumar and Dr. Kristen Stevenson explore VR and AR, how they can be used in e-learning, some benefits and challenges of implementation, and future trends. They also share some interesting case studies, such as how the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing uses a VR avatar to train pre-licensure and advanced practice students.
The virtual simulation platform was rolled out over the summer, during the COVID pandemic, and was able to train about 400 students in a short time frame. Oxford Medical Simulation, a Boston-based company, designed the VR software.
Integrating an interactive knowledge check engages learners by asking them to move items or concepts into appropriate categories or sequences actively. This demonstrates learners' understanding and makes strong cognitive connections between different pieces of information. Additionally, the immediate feedback inherent in drag-and-drop activities reinforces information retention.
We integrate pedagogical principles into the design process. Our instructional designers skillfully ensure that modules align with the curriculum objectives and enhance outcomes for both the learner and the organization's goals.
