D1. Improve Personal Performance without training

---

Facilitators: Hans Ramakers

Recent research outcomes show that there is a difference between traditional students and the new generation of students in the way the brain works. Some suffer from a cognitive overload, while others seem to be perfectly able to multitask and switch in and out between many different information channels. These 'digital natives' will shortly enter into our workforce. This will affect what learning opportunities we offer and the way we organize L&D in our organisations.But there is more. There is also a need to speed up the delivery of new information and knowledge to our workforce. And while on one hand we want more employees to benefit from our L&D-offering, we also want to reach these new audiences at a lower cost. This puts pressure on L&D-professionals to be more creative, more entrepreneurial and more cost-conscious.

D2. The Future of Workplace Learning: how technology and datafication will influence learning and performance support

D3.Social Media

---

Facilitators: Jeroen Krouwels

Social media in a learning environment: most learning experiences arise in the interaction between people. Learning itself is a continuous process. Courses, offline or online are not. They are mostly based on content and timebased interaction in a classroom setting. Social Media can extend the communication between learners, can bring together experts and learners, and can be a huge knowledge database, created by co-workers. The main question is not: how do we make it available, but: how do we make it work?

D5. VR Experience

---

Facilitator: Jaap van den Bosch (Archidimex)

Virtual training helps our customers when training on real machines is too expensive, machines are not (yet) available or are located elsewhere on the globe. Creating a training is simple; existing 3D CAD data of the machine is loaded into the training software and the trainer defines the flexible procedure. This training can then be offered on various platforms, from fully immersive VR environments to 2D on a laptop. The trainer can be present at the training to guide the trainee, but also without him a training can be experienced. The possibilities are very extensive and adaptable to different goals.

We’re present with a virtual reality setup and a small demo training. Please stop by, immerse yourself and get some first-hand experience of what virtual reality can offer.

Short bio

I’m happy to introduce myself, my name is Jaap van den Bosch and Virtual Reality is my profession. VR is used a lot in 3D movies nowadays, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg – also in your business it can be of great added value. After having worked at my American partner WorldViz, I founded Archidimex in the Netherlands with the aim to serve a broad range of customers with my knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm about virtual reality. I like to closely cooperate with customers to identify their exact needs and realize those with virtual reality applications.

Archidimex

Founded six years ago, Archidimex has established itself in the field of real-time virtual reality. Our conviction is that a message or knowledge can best be conveyed through a real experience. Not through websites, videos, images or textbooks, but by the user being in control his own experience. Knowledge through experience. We now bring this knowledge and expertise to our customers to lift training to the next – virtual – level.
