Penn Foster’s Immersive AR

Penn Foster’s immersive app creates a virtual hands-on experience with skilled trades concepts. 

This app includes five augmented reality (AR) experiences, each covering different topics. These experiences offer some of the most engaging opportunities to enhance skilled trades knowledge while also keeping learners engaged with their studies. This is one of the best ways to hone certain skilled trades skills in an eLearning environment.

AR experiences will help learners understand the functions of a fire prevention system and the movement of a CNC machine using the Cartesian coordinate system. Learners will also take a closer look at electrical schematics, doorbell systems, and an electrical power grid.  

These concepts come alive in a simulated environment. Other features include: 

• New age and immersive methods of learning skilled trade concepts

• Reduction in risks and safety concerns associated with real locations

• Immersion of participants in lifelike scenarios which helps them understand concepts and risks 

• Personalized individual learning 

• Improvement in critical thinking, logic, and inquiry skills, while making learning engaging and fun
