The potential of XR and VR for Skills Development in ASEAN countries
Alessia Evi, External Consultant at ITCILO
Two and a half years after the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis, societies all-over the world are still suffering from the impact of the pandemic. The TVET and the Education systems in general have not been spared and the lack of system-level digital strategies, poor technological infrastructure, and weak teachers’ e-readiness, has exposed important inequalities in the global skills development picture. Emerging technologies such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (all together known as XR - Extended Reality) can support TVET and Education systems in easing the impact of future disruptions, ensuring not only continuity of training delivery but also an impact in terms of scalability, personalization, safety, and cost-effectiveness, to drive the sustainable improvement of Skills Development opportunities, far beyond the pandemic response.
During this talk, we will converse about the ongoing advancement of collaboratively developed action-oriented solutions in the field of Extended Reality applications for skills development to respond to the challenges brought forth by the stakeholders involved in the digital innovation process of some of the ASEAN countries we had the opportunity to work with, at the ITCILO.
