Harness the Power of Immersive Learning With the Tournament

As the market needs change dynamically, your team’s efficiency and capabilities should keep up with such high-pace dynamics through continuous, extensive training and development planning. Except that training becomes more challenging, especially with sales and in-field teams who are often too busy with their in-market activities.

That is why immersive learning is one of the most prominent trends in training and development, especially when it comes to its effectiveness with sales teams.

Here are FIVE benefits that immersive learning can bring to your training and development efforts, and we will dig deep even further to discover the challenges of implementing immersive learning and how The Tournament helps you overcome them seamlessly.

1. Effective Knowledge Retention

Immersive learning solutions are usually different when compared to the traditional training and development methods. Immersive learning integrates multiple learning modules and diverse types of media, such as gamification and live activities among others, they tend to increase knowledge and skills retention levels and motivate learners to acquire even more skills and knowledge.

2. Harness the Power of Emotion in Learning

Most psychology studies prove that humans are affected by emotions more than dry facts. We tend to remember an experience if it has enough power to affect our emotions; same applies to learning and training processes. The more you move your trainees’ emotions and make them feel engaged emotionally, the more they will retain the skills and knowledge they learned during their training. Moreover, studies show that when cognitive activities are connected to emotion, they positively affect multiple cognitive operations, such as attention, perception, problem solving, memory, and reasoning, which are all vital to the effectiveness of any learning process.

3. Integrate Hand-on Practice

Studies prove that we remember 80% of any training or learning material when we personally experience it, which reflects how important it is to integrate practical application on any learning material to increase the learning process efficiency and achieve higher knowledge retention rates. As mentioned before, immersive learning integrates multiple engagement solutions and activities that can be seamlessly used to allow trainees to practice what they learned with real-life scenarios.

4. Increase Flexibility

Immersive learning can be easily accessible in any time and through multiple devices, which can significantly increase trainees’ adherence to the training course or material. Such flexibility secures higher knowledge retention rates and increases learning experience effectiveness.

5. Offer Better Contextualization

Contextualization increases the depth of any learning experience. Allowing trainees to apply what they learn on real-world scenarios and simulations can help learners apply the knowledge and skills they learned, which increases knowledge retention and learning efficiency. Moreover, it increases their readiness to overcome the market’s challenges through exposure to multiple case studies, which ensures higher performance and conversion rates.

However, immersive learning can have its disadvantages as well, but The Tournament was designed to overcome these while providing your teams with every advantage it has, so you can get the best of both worlds.

Such disadvantages are:

1. Technical Issues

As it mostly relies on remote learning and virtual training solutions, you might face technical issues that we do not usually encounter in traditional, physical learning.

The Tournament ensures offering 24/7 technical support by our team of experts to manage any technical challenges you might face with the software conveniently.

2. Lack of Individual Attention

Unlike physical trainings, immersive learning and virtual training might cause trainers to become less attentive about their trainees’ developmental needs. However, The Tournament offers thorough analytics about the development journey of each trainee, highlighting their strength as well as their areas of development.

3. Highly Costly

Immersive learning can be quite costly due to the numerous techniques and learning material it integrates. However, having your own in-house digital platform through which you can create immersive learning and training modules could save costs, especially that physical training has its many expenses as well to ensure gathering teams and provide time and space for the training course.

To conclude, The Tournament offers a cost- and time-effective solution for you to integrate immersive learning for your teams’ development plans. Moreover, The Tournament offers such learning experience in a competition-based format to ensure maximum engagement with the training material and the achievement of higher knowledge retention rates and learning efficiency.
