Description

This talk will share experiences gathered through out the design and implementation phase of a multilingual XR learning application that enables experiential learning of work safety related behaviors in forklift operations. The applications first explains important terms for forklift operation and makes them tangible and establishes the comprehension of forklift specific terms in a common target language (in this case German, but could be any other language as well. This makes instruction, training and safety training more understandable.

After the introduction to the terms, the forklift is put into operation virtually and the trainee is given work assignments that involve safety-critical situations. The trainee must act correctly in accordance with the theoretical training. If the trainee does not act correctly, a virtual accident occurs.

In order to properly address Kolb’s learning cycle appropriated feedback and after action review abilities are provided. We will report on experiences, challenges and solutions we developed throughout the user- and stakeholder-centered development of this application and the embedding into the existing curriculum of the BFI Austria, one of the largest vocational training providers in Austria.
