As the abundance of information overwhelms us all, we find we don’t simply need more information. We need people to assimilate, understand, and make sense of what’s out there.
The AIR4VR team has spent time doing just that. We first defined core challenges and solutions in the delivery of Pre-Employment Transition Services and serving youth with disabilities. Then we used technology to give that information to you in innovative ways of learning.
You will find that our online courses are designed to fit into your busy work week. They also include different approaches to learning such as Asynchronous lectures, Interactive exercises, Videos, Interviews, Quizzes, and Communication avenues
We are offering a variety of synchronous simulation-based learning exercises. Build your skills with colleagues in online groups, role-playing with youth and employers using one of these platforms:
- Social virtual reality environments
- Engaging with avatars in a virtual simulation environment
Courses
