    Implementing Virtual Reality eLearning: Challenges

    As with every new technology, VIRTUAL REALITY eLearning offers a lot of possibilities in almost every field to make things more interactive. We must admit, however, that we are still a few years away from actually having full implementation of VIRTUAL REALITY on our day-to-day lives, and we are slowly seeing advances, especially in the entertainment industry. In fact, the trend is for entertainment giants (like Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo) to come up with new technology that

    Advantages of Virtual Reality in Training Part III

    Ideal for Millennials: There has been a significant amount of research completed around the habits, motivations and needs of the largest age group in the workplace today, the Millennials. As a result, it has been concluded that the millennial student not only responds better to innovative training, but in fact almost demands it, assuming you want your training to be successful. Understanding that, virtual reality training is an ideal fit for the millennial, as they are off

    The Top 5 Ways Virtual Reality eLearning Can Be Used / Thoughts from Conversations with Canadian Exe

    Pathways Training and eLearning has created Canada’s first virtual reality eLearning and we have been showing this great technology to several Canadian executives. Interestingly, we are hearing some interesting feedback from companies on their thoughts on how this new and innovative technology can be used.

    Preparing for Learnfest 2017

    As some of you may know, a couple of weeks ago, Pathways Training and eLearning presented the Virtual Reality eLearning module at the I4PL Learnfest in Toronto. While the outcome of our presentation was really good, I have to admit that it took a lot of work for us to have a successful presentation, from preparing graphical assets, to creating strategies to mitigate any technological issues. Here is a brief description of some of the things we prepared for our presentation at

    Saying good bye to simplistic eLearning design with VR

    And by design I am (for the most part) talking about Graphic Design. Think about it for a second, on a standard eLearning module, you usually have a rectangular area in which to put in your content and graphical assets, and if we talk in degrees, it’s around 90 (horizontally and vertically) degrees that you must cover. That is relatively easy, since we are used to that format and you can make a good use of white spaces (for most graphic designers, a very important concept in

    Innovation in Canada

    Rumour has it that over the last few years, Canada has been lagging behind in innovation. The Conference Board of Canada’s Innovation Domain Report card from 2015 grades Canada at a C, and 9th out of 16 peer countries, so we certainly have room for improvement. But with substantial government subsidies for R&D and training, why are Canadian companies reluctant to invest in research and design? One of the factors is conflating invention with innovation, or radical innovation w

    Limitations deploying 360 eLearning videos on mobile devices

    Moving forward with the development of our 360 eLearning video, we have found along the way that there are lots of opportunities to improve the learning experience by teaching the content in a more interactive way. However, and unfortunately, given that 360 eLearning videos is still a technology in development, we have also found several challenges and limitations, especially when it comes to deploying this product on mobile devices. And even more specifically, deploying then

    Google Cardboard and 360 eLearning Video

    Let’s continue diving a bit more into our favourite topic of 2017. And I say favourite because as it is a developing technology, here at Pathways we are proud of being one of the first training and eLearning companies in Canada, implementing 360 video and virtual reality into eLearning. While developing our 360 eLearning video, we also started thinking about how to bring the final product to the next level, keeping in mind that only by having the 360 video integrated with an

    The Next Evolution of eLearning

    360 videos are the next step in the evolution of training and eLearning. When 360 video is added into an eLearning course, it allows the learner to interact with the video and to scroll around and to see a complete 360 view of everything around (beyond just what the camera was pointed at, at the time of the video shoot, like with traditional video). At Pathways Training and eLearning, we believe that by adding HTML5 interactivities into the 360 video (like “hot spot” and cli

    What Do American Girl and the Future of Corporate Training and eLearning Have in Common?

    My daughter has asked for an American Girl motorcycle for Christmas this year. For any of you that have young daughters, grandchildren or young female nieces, you may be familiar with the American Girl craze that is sweeping across North America. American Girl is every young girl’s dream. In the U.S., American Girls stores are multi-level experiences where you can purchase dolls that look like your child, and all accompanying accessories (you can even buy pets and dolls fo

    Virtual Reality as a Learning Tool

    The evolution of learning has changed quite drastically over the past hundred years, long gone are the days of teachers writing on chalkboards. So here we are in 2016, looking to the future and the most effective possible ways to deliver training. Virtual reality (VR), is still quite new, however it looks like it will be the wave of the future. According to the “Cone of Learning” from Edgar Dale, after two weeks, the human brain tends to remember 10% of what it reads, 20% of

    VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) TECHNOLOGY IN ELEARNING

    After years of experimentation and testing, virtual reality (VR) technology is finally coming to our homes. The HTC Vive was released on April 5, 2016 (mine is on back-order, to be delivered in June), and there are alternatives such as the Oculus Rift (released on March 28, 2016) and others available to the consumer. Although the price for these devices is still rather steep, I have a feeling that VR technology is here to stay. The experience is unlike any other, and there is
