Immersive learning Transforming Functional
Skills Delivery
2
Increased Engagement and Motivation
One of the most significant advantages of
immersive learning to deliver functional skills
is increased learner engagement and
motivation. Virtual environments can provide a
fun and interactive learning space for learners
to explore mathematical concepts, problem-solving
techniques or literacy conundrums. By making
learning more interactive, learners are more
likely to engage with their course, making them
more likely to succeed. For example, including
elements of gamification can make functional
skills more fun and involved.

Supporting Additional Learning Needs
Learners with additional learning needs or those
who have struggled with traditional teaching
methods are often left behind when it comes to
functional skills. With immersive platforms,
learners can access materials at their own pace
and in their own time. Using different audio and
visual presentations allows learners to
experience different styles of delivery, which
might be more suitable for their
needs. Leveraging new technology to complement
existing teaching methods can benefit those
learners who need extra support.
4
Improved retention and understanding
Another significant benefit of immersive learning
to deliver functional skills is improved
retention and understanding. When learners are
immersed in their learning environment, they are
more likely to remember the information presented
to them and how to apply it in real-world
situations.
5
Relevance to Career Paths
Functional skills are essential for many careers.
There is so much potential within immersive
learning platforms, such as virtual reality, to
combine functional skills training with
real-world job scenarios including engineering,
finance and construction. Learning is more
relevant and engaging and encourages them to see
the value of functional skills within the
workplace. Think about applying maths in the
workplace balancing accounts, calculating the
correct number of bricks needed to build a wall,
measuring the right length of material for a
dress pattern. There are endless careers where
maths and other functional skills can be applied.

Flexibility and Cost-Effectiveness

• Using immersive learning to deliver functional
  skills provides a flexible and cost-effective
  solution.
• Training is accessible at any time of day so
  learners can learn at their own pace. Tutors can
  use it as a complementary tool to their existing
  delivery and save on classroom time so that it
  can be used for other areas of focus.
