IMPLEMENTING AUGMENTED REALITY SCENARIO-BASED LEARNING: IMPACT STUDY IN THE
SECURITY INDUSTRY
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows virtual information to be overlaid onto a live direct or indirect real-world environment in real time. Augmented Reality Application for Security Training (ARAST) is an AR platform that is designed for security officer training. It can be used to supplement WSQ training for security operations and as refresher training for security officers at the workplace. ARAST sets itself apart from most other AR/VR training available, with its flexibility to create a learning environment using the deployment of markers (QR Code) and mobile app on trainee’s mobile devices. ARAST does not rely on bulky hardware (VR/AR glasses) thus making it conducive to adopt for workplace learning. To study the effectiveness of this program, from scenario design, AR App development, to training implementation and delivery to results measurements using the training evaluation framework by Donald Kirkpatrick through an experimental design impact study to demonstrate. • Realistic and mediated AR content to engage users in an immersive learning environment. • A supporting platform that allows collection of learning data for analysis. • Allows trainers to easily create training/assessment scenario as well as to remotely view progress. • Trainees can learn at their own time and reports can be made available to trainees regarding their learning progress and training gaps.
