VR the 'next big thing' to hit L&D

91% of L&D professionals plan to implement virtual reality (VR) in their learning organisation, with over a third planning to use VR over the next three years.

A survey by Kallidus revealed that 95% of 200 L&D professionals said they see VR as being useful for enhancing training, with 81% thinking it has ‘real potential’ for learning.

A further 11% dubbed VR as the ‘next big thing’, and just eight per cent feel VR is ‘just hype’.

Over half (53%) of the respondents have prioritised VR as the next new mode of learning they most want to implement - ahead of virtual classrooms, mobile learning, games-based learning and social learning - in terms of priority.
