- 7. Immersive Technology Virtual Reality for Army Training - Soldiers execute a mission in the Dismounted Soldier Training System, a state-of-the- art training that combines gaming and virtual technology. Soldiers can train together in real-time using the DSTS as commanders watch and supervise. Ex: Virtual Training Army Immersive technology refers to technology that blurs the line between the physical world and digital or simulated world, thereby creating a sense of immersion.
- 8. The Benefits… Easy and fast to set up. Gets new hires trained faster and productive sooner. Learn from everywhere, anytime, anywhere. Train from the field with minimal disruption to productivity.ƒƒ Reduce travel-related hassles and improve quality of work.
- 10. Before you start teaching, it is essential that you get to know the surroundings in which you will be working. Some suggestions for becoming familiar with the equipment are: Attend an introductory session; Book a time to visit the room with a technician or experienced user; Sit in on a teaching session; Book a practice session, ask someone to observe you and give feedback. Getting Familiar with Video Conferencing
- 11. Communication - Clear voice and instructions. Increase eye contact (all states involved) and body language. Convey the presence of an individual. Remote facilitator.

- 16. Frogs typically lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into aquatic larvae, called tadpoles, that have tails and internal gills. They have highly specialized rasping mouth parts suitable for herbivorous, omnivorous or planktivorous diets. The life cycle is completed when they metamorphose into adults. A few species deposit eggs on land or bypass the tadpole stage. Adult frogs generally have a carnivorous diet consisting of small invertebrates, but omnivorous species exist and a few feed on fruit. Frogs are extremely efficient at converting what they eat into body mass, which makes them an important food source for predators. Frogs are a keystone group in the food web dynamics of many of the world's ecosystems. Life cycle of a frogA B Ah-ha! Instructional Design helps the learners to understand better.
- 17. Contrast Background & Text Colors Use contrasting background and text colors for improved readability. Contrast Contrast
- 18. Can you read this? Can you read this? Can you read this? Can you read this? Can you read this? Can you read this? Can you read this? Can you read this? Can you read this? Can you read this? Bad Contrast vs. Good Contrast
- 19. Use sans-serif font and use the same font through out the course. Increase Readability Example: Verdana Impact Arial Calibri Font Type
- 20. Avoid Busy Templates! • Avoid distracting, busy templates! Avoid distracting, busy templates! Audience will tend to focus on background picture, rather than what you are saying
- 21. Font size = 32 title , 24 body text Lowercase lettering for body text – easy to read Background – Avoid busy, hot, florescent colors Use keywords – Simplify paragraph and elaborate during class Convert text to diagram/table/chart where applicable Add video/game/quiz at every 10-15 minutes of presentation Present engaging content

- #8: Immersive technology refers to technology that blurs the line between the physical world and digital or simulated world, thereby creating a sense of immersion.
- #9: Easy and fast - Allow organizations to be flexible with the demand of training. Gets new hires trained faster and productive sooner. Learn from anywhere - study from a variety of states, time zones and countries. Allows learners to train from the field with minimal disruption to productivity Reduce travel-related hassles and improve quality of work life
- #12: Using video conferencing technology does change the normal teaching environment and this can cause concern for tutors and students alike. However, by approaching the possibilities offered by video conferencing in a positive manner the learning experience can turn out to be successful for all concerned. Remote facilitator – good to have, not necessarily an SME, but must know about video conferencing give feedback and suggestion.
- #16: Why do we need to present engaging content? Is it important? It will help the learners to understand better and to engage them with the course or topic.
- #17: Designing the Lesson. There something for us to learn here: good design engages us. When we’re mentally engaged, we’re more apt to remember and learn. Without instructional design, the learner might or might not get the information they need. Because of instructional design, you can get the learners to cut through a lot of extraneous information and get right to the important stuff.
- #19: Avoid using colors to differentiate items as this method wont work for color blind people. For example, do not use red to indicate it is wrong and green as right. Just put text next to it to indicate right and wrong (yes/no, right/wrong, 1/0 etc).
- #20: Understanding and applying basic principles of visual design can make your materials easier for others to understand and use where it can increase readability.
