Training

One of our main research areas is training. Find information about our previous studies below.

This study was developed in collaboration with Maersk and Virsabi. We co-developed a set of simulations that can be used to improve the way in which safety training is done for ship crew on big transport vessels. In the simulation you get to experience what situations can happen on the ship, even before you set foot on board. Your job is to spot those situations and signal to other crew members that they should change what they are doing.

This project aims to create Virtual Reality interventions for cost-effective training of very specific tasks and skills. The simulations have been developed to resemble the lab environment as closely as possible, allowing for training of staff even before they enter the lab, providing them with safety training, as well as other typical tasks that can be asked of the employees afterwards in real life.

This project is a collaboration between the Virtual Learning Lab and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability.

This study is aimed at testing whether VR can be used to teach students quite manual tasks, like pipetting in a chemistry lab setting. In the simulation the students are being taught about safety and basic rules of working in a lab. They are then asked to perform a serial dilution task, which is a task that is usually the basic exercise taught in physical chemistry lab settings as well.

We have tested this simulation with high school students in Odense, where the students were either taught about the task by a teacher in person, or they were taught by a virtual human inside our simulation. All of the students were then scored based on how well they could perform the same serial dilution task in real life.
