Increased Motivation, Retention and Learning Outcomes

The trainee application, available on tablet, smartphone, computer, and VR, simulates the vehicle into which learners are immersed and covers training topics which are tailored according to clients’ needs. In free or guided exploration mode, users navigate through their rolling stock and discover it with documentation, media content and animations. Learners’ states of advancement and progress are recorded, which allows instructors to gain insights into their knowledge and depth of understanding. Students can also monitor their own learning curve and personalized their training. By combining several types of learning materials within an interactive user interface, TrainLab boosts motivation, favours knowledge retention and maximises learning outcomes.
